For two seasons one of these Sparrows used to sit on a 

 balcony outside my dressing-room window at my Dalhousie 

 house and fly against the window-panes, banging the glass with 

 its beak and claws, goi^ig on till it was absolutely exhausted. 

 It continued this game for four or five hours a day during 

 the months of May and June. Nothing frightened it away 

 for more than a few minutes. Towels were hung out with 

 no effect. The window was opened ; it went to another. 

 Even bird-lime was discovered and avoided. It did not mind 

 seeing people in the room. At times the bird would con- 

 tinue its assault on the glass when it had scarcely strength to 

 fly at the window. Its beak open, wings drooping, it j)resented 

 a picture of misery and mania ! It had a nest under the eaves 

 each summer. At the end of June in the second year of its 

 visitation it disappeared, worn out, doubtless, by the unusual 

 labours it had gone through.
