Synopsis

Dead Birds Flying High

Jürgen Friedrich Mahrt (1882-1940) left behind a large collection of taxidermied birds and butterflies, as well as countless photographs, documenting the wildlife habitats of his time, many of which no longer exist today. His great-granddaughter has the collections analyzed by experts.

Wonders of the Sea

The ocean depths are explored with the aid of a submarine chamber of Williamson's invention and a few hardy souls. The construction of the device is examined; but most of the footage is given to plant and animal life, a girl swimming among the coral growths, and two divers who encounter a moray and an octopus.
