THE NATURALIST. 



I took a nest of young birds there three years ago, and reared them up, but 

 one unfortunately made its escape as soon as it gained sufficient power 

 of wing. The other I have still in my possession, and it is very tame. 

 Towards the close of the afternoon and throughout the evening, the tap, tap 

 of the Green Woodpecker, Picus viridis, was heard resounding over the 

 woods. After again refreshing ourselves, we started for home, which we 

 reached about nine in the evening after spending a very pleasant day.
