 towards the condition of spots in the male grandparent. Cooing like that of common pigeon, but i. Delivery 



and quality of voice were quite like the common pigeon Too, the bird showed in its attitudes and Ivehavior some 



slight and hard-to-describe differences. The testes were enormous in si/.e. d s inches long by "> Id inch in shortest diameter."

 large and apparently healthy; do not know what the trouble was; perhaps some organic weakness of its hybrid constitution."
