Mr. SeeTDohm refers to a statement of mine as to the appa- 

 rent length of the wing in the Truro specimen ; but it is fair 

 to add that my figure, which he quotes, was only an estimate 

 made through the glass of the unopened case containing the 

 bird, and therefore much less reliable than an actual measure- 

 ment.
