Yearly appearance of the Swallow and Cuckoo. 319 



YEARLY APPEARANCE OF THE SWALLOW AND CUCKOO. 



Memorandum of the times of appearance of the Swallow and 

 the Cuckoo^ kept for several years back by George Weare 

 Brackenridge, Esq. of Broomwell House, Brislingtoa Wick, near 

 Bristol. 



Mr. Brackenridge endeavoured to keep a young Cuckoo over 

 the winter 1823 — 1824, but it had been declining very fast for 

 some days, and died on the 23d of April 1824, the very day on 

 which a Cuckoo was heard out of doors.
