A noisy Situation. 



Before I leave these birds of summer, let me 

 record the fact that last June (1886) a pair of 

 swallows built their nest on the circular spring of 

 a bell just over a doorway behind the University 

 Museum ; the bell was constantly being rung, 

 and the nest was not unfrequently examined, but 

 they brought up their young successfully. This 

 should be reassuring to those who believe that 

 the Museum and its authorities are a terror to 

 living animals.
