The Zoologist : an Illustrated Monthly Magazine of Natural History, and 

 Journal for recording Facts and Anecdotes I'elating to Quadrupeds, Birds, 

 Beptiles, Fishes, Annelides, Insects, Worms, Zoophytes, ^'C. ; their Habits, 

 Retreats, occasional Appearance, Migrations, Nests, and Young. Nos, 1, to

 in which it is stated that " great pains are taken generally to improve the 

 home of the agricultural family, as well by furnishing opportunities for proper 

 habits in the erection of good cottages, as by the direct encouragement of 

 prizes for neat cottage interiors and gardens, (p. 148.) The general condition 

 of the cottages, however, more frequently resembles those in the neighbour-
