Nestlings supposed, to attach themselves to parent. Compare iii, p. 379, and iv, pj). 10. 75, 

 92. It was about this time that the curious fact that the bird transports her young when in 

 danger began to be noticed in this country, though long known in case of Scolopax rusticola 

 (see Zoologist, xi, 1853, p. 4017). Vaiious writers describe the manner in which they suppose 

 it to be done — not easy to determine, in the nature of the case. Aeeoiding to tlie most reli- 

 able observations, the bird holds the young one so closely to her abdomen, between her legs, 

 that the two appear as one body ; thus apparently giving rise to the supposition of "A. AV." 

 that the youug "attach themselves to the parent.' A plate has lately been published (^o- 

 ologisl, 3d ser., iii, 1879, p. 433) figuring the European "Woodcock {Scolopax rusticola) Hying 

 with a young one in her claws, remote from her body, much as a hawk would carry a chicken. 

 But there is doubtless a dilfcreuce in this respect ; for the text of the same article speaks of 

 another case in which the little one was held tightly to the body of the mother, between her 

 thighs, exactly as the American bird has been seen to do. The two species probably do not ' 

 ditfer from each other in the way they do it, though this may not be always exactly the same 

 in either.
