APPENDIX. 



Glo^■er's statement; and if three broods were raised the number 

 would be six hundred and twenty-five milUon. Under the circum- 

 stances it seems probable that the estimate by Glover is not an 

 exaggeration if three broods or even two and one-half broods are 

 raised, but such a statement would not apply to the northern part 

 of the range.
