A popular fallacy tells us that a cuc- kono luys eggs iu another bird's nest She does net. She ys eight eggs on the ground. The eggs are in size, col- or, Spots and shape in accordance with the information obtained, say, in Leigh woods: t-of the elght eggs five or six would closely resemble the hedge sparrow's. The other two might be those of a titlark, a wren or a linnet.
