Wantonly killed 127 



they have probably been shot by some one who thought 

 it clever to destroy anything out of the ordinary. Most 

 large rookeries can either show a rook with white feathers, 

 or have well-authenticated records of their former exist- 

 ence ; but though not rare, people naturally like to pre- 

 serve them when they do occur, and it is extremely 

 annoying; to have them wantonly killed.
