HOW TO TELL THE BIRDS FROM THE FLOWERS. 



We have received two extraordinary publications, written 

 by R. Williams Wood, one of which bears the above title. 

 They shew to what an extent Nature Study has progressed in 

 America ! At the top of each page is an illustration, and below 

 this the description in verse. In order that our readers may 

 see the nature of these, we reproduce one or two of them. 



THE CROW. THE CROCUS. 



Some are unable, as you know, 

 To tell the Crocus from the Crow ; 

 The reason why is just because 

 They are not versed in Nature's laws. 

 The noisy cawing Crows all come. 

 Obedient to the Cro'custom, 

 A large Crow caw-cus to convoke, 

 You never hear the Crc'cus croak !
