CANARIES AND CAGE-BIRDS. 



TWENTY SONGSTERS COMPARED. 



This table is arranged with reference to a scale of a hundred points. While, in 

 all probability, no one would agree with me in regard to a large part of these figures, 

 not a unit has been written without most careful consideration ; and the whole table 

 has had several thorough revisions, so that, as more names were added to the list, 

 each bird should be given just the total number of points that are justly his, when 

 lie is compared with all the others. 



This table is given, like all the rest, rather as a guide to intending purchasers 

 who are not thoroughly posted on birds, than as an " exact " authority.
