WHERE DO THE MARTINS COZ
( We have watched with no little curiosity
for some years past the movements Of these
birds, and we can. find nothing satisfactory
even with the aid of our friend Barnhart,
who has been "a years sheltering them and
keeping an eye to their latitude and depar-
ture. 80 sal


Mr.. Barnhart has box at his house for
l2 pair Of them, and informs us that this
year they came back from the 18th to the
3oth Of March, and took their flight with
the survivors Of their younglings about the


18th Of August So they favor us with
their company and cheering voices only
about FIVE months of the year. Mr.. B. in
forms us. that large portion of the first
brood were destroyed by the wet weather,
the old birds not being able to secure the
proper amount of food, but they finally
took off with them something like 60
young ones. They make their departure
always in the night. i, 4--.sv .r


Inquiry has been made, Of men who have
travelled the world over, and yet none Of
them can'tell where the martins spend our
Fall and Winter. We shall have to turn
our attention to ornithological studies.
