SUPP ED. Si. DS: 
HE setting up of birds, with their nests and 
egos, or young, as we find them in their natural 
haunts, is an art of comparatively recent date. 
To the late Mr. E. T. Booth is ascribed the honour 
of having been the originator of the idea, and we 
have only to look at the cases of birds in the Booth 
Museum, on the Dyke Road, Brighton, to see not 
only how realistically, but how artistically that idea 
has been carried out.

in the above-mentioned museum, and the majority 
of the specimens which the cases there contain
