Page 109, fourth paragraph, re Cow Bird, Scientific name is Molothrus 

 bonariensis, not as stated. Also, for "Sturnidae, or Starling 

 family," read "Steridae family." Although many species are 

 outwardly much like Starlings in appearance, they are true 

 Passeres and therefore nearer to the Starlings than the Cuckoos, 

 with which they have nothing in common excepting the parasitic 

 breeding habits of some species. 



Page 183, line 35 etc, as to Moss growing for the most part and 

 thickest on the North side; unfortunately for the truthfulness 

 of this otherwise interesting item of folk-lore, the notion is 

 not established by Science, and an examination of a number 

 of trees has shown Professor Henry Kraemer, a Philadelphia 

 botanist, that 10 per cent, had the Moss on the West side, 

 10 per cent, on the North-west side, 10 per cent, on the 

 North side, 20 per cent, on the Nort-east side, 35 per cent, 

 on the East side, and 15 per cent, on the South-east side.
