BIRDS OF THE ROCKS. 179 



of all the woods and fields from the beginning 

 to the end of time. 



It is because colors have such priceless value 

 in the composition of the beauty our souls 

 crave, and because music, such as the birdb 

 make in the dewy woods of May, goes so far 

 towards filling the human heart with happi 

 ness, that I close this paper with the questions : 



What colors had the plumage of Archceo- 

 pteryx ? 



What song did Palaospiza sing ? 



THE END.
