much gratified to find that the fen- observations on the incubation of birds which i sent you in september last have attracted the notice of so able a zoologist as your correspondent physicus i should not have ventured to state my boyish re collections in opposition to the observa tion of a montagu of which 1 was per fectly aware if they had not been con- finned particularly as to the lapwing by subsequent observation- happening to be in holland in the spring of 1814 where this bird is much more common than in britain and having occasion to converse with many of the ua- tivesof that country who make a very good livelihood hy collecting the plovers girs not only for sale in the principal ci ties of their own provinces hut for expor tation to the london and paris markets whore they are esteemed a great delicacy i w is most particular in my inquiries and fo ml to mysurprise that all of them were pefoctly aware of the fact that hy takiug aray the egg as it was deposited in the dt the bird continued to lay for a consi- ditble period and they assured me that in this way they procured triple the num ber of eggs that could be obtained by rob bing the nest when the bird had complet ed its usual number for hatching viz four i believe it is well ascertained that most early birds among whom i reckon the lap wing breed twice in the season if they arc not interfered with of this i can as sure physicus that the ovarium of the lap wing contains the germs of a great many more ova than four a fact which may be demonstrated without much difficulty at hi season of the year with regard to the fork i have had no opportunity of rc- deviflg my observations since i was four teen years of age and shall therefore al low it to have no more weight than is a bnjhh recollection it may seem to merit this is the moment however to make such investigations and i hope if your corresnondeut resides in the country that he wili pay some attention to the subject and favour mo with the result of his obser- vations- n 0 v v were the most unfavourable instances he could have chosen as it is well known that the first is the most ticklisbofall birds and will very often forsake her nest if the smallest twig connected with it is pot out of its place while the last lays such an immense number of eggs in its natural state that there is scarcely a possibility of tfat number being increased by any interference with its ordinary economy it is well known that the cuckoo lays on ly one egg and that this egg is always de posited in the nest of some other bird iu fis country at least the gowk is seldom seen during the spring but in the compa ny of his faithful attendant the titling a very small bird in whose nest i have al ways found her patrons egg i have fre quently discovered these nests containing four small eggs and one large one i have witched their progress butnevcryet could ascertain what became of the small birds as the moment the young cuckoo emerg- s of a dyers mill where there was a small pond v as observed to exhibit y usuiil symptoms of terror and alarm i hen the ducklings first took to the water hug by degrees she became quite rech to their habits and was accustomed great quietness to euioy herself on the banks while they gamboled in the pol for two or three years a uniformly brought ut ducklings and at last as regularly led them to tire water as their natural dam would have done tn tho wurse of time however she brought out a breed of chickens these she immediately led to j the side of the pool also but when she found they dltl uotenter thevatei she he- came quite uneasy called them dose tp it made every motion for them i enter it flew over to the beetling stone j tjo centre of the pond and then culled on them to follow but all to no purpose when she found that nothing would en tice them to enter the water she actually seized upon one or two of them and threw them into it and if she had not been pre vented it is believed would have drowned her whole progeny this shows how much the native habits of even fowls may be changed by circumstances and prove in some degree the existence of memory without judgment in the feathered tribes we have had

appeared a gentleman in the county of sterling kepsgrcyhouod and a pointer and being foudof coursiug the pointer was accustomed to find the hares and the greyhound fo catch them when the season was over found that the dogs were in the habit of going out by them selves and of killing the hares for their own amusement to prevent this a large iron ring was fastened to the pointers neck by a leather collar and hung down so as to prevent the dog from running or jumping over dikes c the animals however continued to stroll out to the fields together and one day the gcntle- mau suspecting all was not right resolved to waub sbeok and v hte surprise aniws that the moment they thought they were unobserved the greyhound took up the iron ring in his mouth and carrying it they sot off to die hills and began to search for hares as usual they were followed and it was observed that whenever the point er scented the bare the ring was dropt and the greyhound stood ready to pounce upou pour puss the
