MILDNESS OF THE SEASON. 



Two instances of the mildness of the season have occurred. A 

 pair of the Vanessa lo were brought to me, caught flying at Bard- 

 sey, near Leeds, on the 24th January. A robin's nest, with young 

 ones, was found near Swillington, about six miles from Leeds, on 

 the 2nd February. Henry Denny. 



DE HIRUNDINUM AD NOS REDITU. 



Salve, quae ad nos incolumis te vertis, hirundo, 



Quandoquidem veris nuncia grata redis ; 

 Et nos ceu socios post frigora sseva revisis, 



Et tecum nobis tempora Iseta refers. 

 Te redeunte redit facies laetissima mundo. 



Ssevus abit Boreas ; mitior aura redit. 

 Solvunturque nives, et grato murmure rivi 



Labuntur ripis, prataque amoena rigant. 

 Herba solum vestit, pinguntur floribus arva, 



Omnis abit squallor, pulchra juventa redit. 

 Te redeunte, virent nuper qusecunque rigebant, 



Arboribus redeunt te redeunte comae. 

 Salve, igitur, felix cunctis mortalibus ales, 



Nuncia veris avis, nuncia laetitise.
