ON NATURAL HISTORY. 357 



Keepers have informed me that Weazles will 

 sometimes kill and feed on Snakes. 



Efts, or water Lizards, will feed greedily upon 

 Tadpoles. 



Birds resume their song at the earliest period 

 of warm weather in the Spring, as if they hailed 

 the return of the season of hilarity and cheerful- 

 ness. At this time we rejoice to hear 



Birds in cheerful notes expressing 

 Nature's bounty and their blessing.
