:>1S JUKI) LtFK IN WILD WALKS 



Last spring we knew of a Raven "setting " on two 

 eggs, an abnormally small clutch, which being taken, 

 Corvus corax promptly built a fresh nest and reared 

 four young in safety. 



In conclusion, let us beg all landed proprietors to 

 preserve on their moors and elsewhere our rarer 

 avifauna, for what a pitiable thing it is to see such a 

 magnificent bird as the Kite almost extinct, when we 

 know that once he was common in the very streets 

 of London ; and an indigenous species, once exter- 

 minated, will never rise again.
