SONG BIRDS OF GREAT BRITAIN. 



Senegal, and probably in many other warm coun- 

 tries. 



" The Swallow," says Sir H. Davy, " is one of my 

 favourite birds, and a rival of the Nightingale ; for 

 he glads my sense of seeing as much as the other 

 does my sense of hearing. He is the joyous pro- 

 phet of the year, the harbinger of the best season : 

 he lives a life of enjoyment amongst the loveliest 

 forms of nature ; winter is unknown to him ; and he 

 leaves the green meadows of England in autumn 

 for the myrtle and orange groves of Italy, and for 

 the palms of Africa." 



THE END.
