The introduction of these hardy, aggressive little foreigners, with a 

 view to their naturalization, has proved a decided success, and is therefore 

 no longer a question of survival, but rather one as to whether the good 

 they may do will overbalance the harm. In this discussion the birds 

 will have their friends, but as a whole, those that know them best can 

 but look forward with alarm at their rapid increase and spread. They 

 cannot properly be classed with our native birds, but as they have come 

 to stay, are entitled to a place or mention in our catalogues.
