ADDENDA. 



Barren Pairs. When the nest of a partridge happens to be 

 destroyed late in the season, the old birds remain together, and 

 are called a barren pair. However, it sometimes happens, that 

 what are called a barren pair prove to be both cocks the fol- 

 lowing appears to be the reason : when, after pairing time, 

 two cock birds happen to be left in the same district, after the 

 animosity which accompanies genial desire has subsided, the two 

 male birds associate and remain together, if undisturbed, until 

 the following spring. But barren pairs, whether male and 

 female or otherwise never lie well, or in other words, are much 

 more difficult to approach than a covey. 



A dog's skin is not porous, and for that reason he never per- 

 spires : the excretions, whether from sickness or otherwise, make 

 their way through the eyes, nose, and mouth. The dog's skin 

 will not easily absorb mercurial nor any other ointment; though 

 it will become sore from external application.
