Our lite rature on this subject — which is both interesting and important — is, as yet, not very extensive. The subject is de- serving of far more study and close attention than it has re- ceived up to the present time. No one of the verte- brate g r o ups furnish better illustrative ex- amples of all this than do birds. For many years past there has been almost a universal move- ment on foot to e n c o urage the matter of good fellow- s h i p between many species of our small land birds and our own species. At first only a limited number of people en- tered the field to bring this r e 1 a t i onship about where possible, and it was chiefly ac- c o m p 1 i s h ed through plac- ing attractive foods for them in convenient places out-of- doors ; through the establish- ment of bird homes in the trees and elsewhere, and the feeding of many birds in the wintertime at close quarters in the as open.

It was as true of land birds as of the marine forms or the so-called water birds. One traveler was returning, from a spring with a small camp pitcher in his hand filled with water, when some bird, about the size of a robin, came and lit on the brim of the vessel to get a drink for it- self. This was on one of the East Indian Isles; and if memory fails me not, the ex- plorer was Alfred Russel Wallace. But the lit- erature of ex- ploration teems with such ac- counts, though, unfortunately, e X a m p les of the kind are becoming more and more rare. Through the use of traps and guns and persistent persecution of many kinds, nearly all—indeed all the various species of birds in this
