TEE BEEAVIOUB OF A NESTLING CUCKOO. 35 



Cuckoo. He said ife was some time since he found the last 

 young Cuckoo, near where we were standing. 



The last time I heard the Cuckoo's call* was on June 19th. 

 I did not hear it once at Grange from June 19th to the 26th. I 

 spent a good deal of time on Baildon Moor during the week 

 ending June 19th, and found many nests, with eggs, of species 

 which are victimised by the Cuckoo, but did not find another 

 Cuckoo's egg, although Cuckoos abounded in the immediate 

 district ; which is strange, if the Cuckoo lays as many eggs as it 

 is reputed to do by some authorities.
