villager generally owned one of these shel- drake lodging houses, and that they were scrupulously bonest in not taking each others’ egys.

This is grently to the credit of tho Frie- sians, because egg stealing is not only an almost universal fraility among rusties, of whatever nation, but is the only form of crime which is generally recognized and labeled as larceny in the animal com- munity. Every bird knows that tha other bird’s eggs are that bird’s property. It is not like a young ene, but a chattel, and there is a distinct criminal class among birds which knowingly steal eggs, just as there is a respectable class, the great ma- jority, who know that they have to guard against this. Betwixt and between there is a doubtful stratum, represented in this country by rooks, starlings (which take larks’ eggs), and gulls, who are not habit- ual criminals, but are Nable to stray when

Custom, which rules in matters of ent- ing more then in any other department of life, hus set very narrow limits to the Eng- lich idea of what are and what are not edible eggs. This must be mainly due to fancy, for the taste of the eggs of most birds is almost the same, though that of a@ very few, such as the plover and the guinea fowl], is distinctly superior. Much has. been written as to the sale of cther birds’ eggs, gulls’, guillemots’ and red- thanks’ for plovers’ eggs. They are good enough of their kind, but the difference

stealing from each other. They are perfect-_ ly aware that they are stealing, and their

is different to that which they wear when

hunting for legitimate food.

Tre following cases may be cited: In April, 1896, a wild duck was disturbed from her nest in a copsein the isle of Wight. An hour later a pair of crows found the nest. It held 11 eggs, rather too many for two crows’ breakfasts. They in- vited a few friends, ate ail the eggs and then began such a‘chorus of croaks and shouts that the crime was suspected Evy- ery egg was gone beforea single crow ut-- tered a sound. In Holland two magpies: found a pheasant sitting. They waited until early next morning and then set to work at daybreak, when their proceedings: were watched. One went behind the pheas- ant and pecked its tail till the bird turned round and rushed at the magpie. The eth- w magpie at once spiked an egg and flew off. Two jackdaws which had a nest ina hollow tree near a house in Suffolk showed a touching affection for a bantam hen. Tley hopped about the yard in her com- pany, ate out of the plate of food set down for the bantam and were much com- mended. The bantam had a nest in the garden known to the household. As: no eggs were visible for some days a watch was kept. The two jackdaws were seen sitting by their friend, who was on the nest. When the egg was laid, the bantam flew off clucking, and as soon as she was gone one of the daws flew off with the egg. --London Spectator,

eggs are so unlike those of the peewit that the persistence of the tradition that they are sold as plovers’ eggs is puzzling.

The explanation is somewhat curious. The belief had its origin in a confusicn

of names, which is illustrated by a note 1 : of Sir Thomas Browne. The old Norfolk S namie for the black headed gull was ‘‘puet,’’ ; e and these puets’ eggs were formerly much ; more commenly used for food thar pee- { wits’ eggs. Sir Thomas speaks of the *‘puets, in such plentie about Horsey, that they sometimes bring them in carts to Norwich, and sell them at emall rates, and the country people make use of their eggs in puddings and otherwise.’’ The black headed gull was and to some ex- tent is still the principal wild contribu- tor toour egg supply, except the rock fowl of the coast. At the celebrated gullery in Scoulton Mere, in Norfolk, the first eggs are generally laid in the middle of March, and none is taken after a certain time, fixed yearly, according as the season is early or late. As late as 1890, according to Mr. Thomas Southwell, from 8,000 to 9,000 eggs were taken annually from this one colony. Several of the ancient guller- ies of Norfolk are now extinct. That near Waugford was destroyed, according to the evidence of a warrener who remembered the ‘‘coddy moddies,’”’ as he called them, ‘‘by taking their eggs too close.’’ On the other hand, fresh colonies have been estab- lished elsewhere.

In the markets tn Holland all kinds af large birds’ eggs appear for sale, ~~ poe shanks’, greenshanks’, and godwits’ are the commonest in the market stalls of South Holland, but one sees also the bright blue eggs of the heron and those of wild ducks. Formerly a very large trade was done in wild fowl eggs with the shepberds of the isle of Texel. The north part of the ‘‘Taxel’’(as itis pronounced by the Dutch) is still called ‘‘eyer land’’—‘‘egg land’’— and it was from this district that the sup- ply was mainly drawn. In Friesland, the Duteh Norfolk, where meres, broads, heaths and wild fowl abound, the shel-— drakes’ eggs are one of the minor sources of pocket money to the villagers. - Shel- drakes like to nest in a burrow, in which they would normally lay one setting of eggs and then hatch them off. The Fries- landers provide ready made burrows, froin which a dozen nesting chambers radiate. These artificial nests are made in a grass covered sand hill, a loose turf being laid over each nesting chamber, which is re- moved when ths egg is taken, and then replaced. The strangest part of this ar- rangement is the tameness of the birds. Several females use the same entrance and will allow themselves to be handled. They
