Abstract
A SHORT time ago I addressed you on the subject of Cuckow's eggs, giving you some experiences of my own. I now have much pleasure in forwarding to you a portion of a letter on the same subject from an esteemed and observant correspondent, Mrs. Barber, of Highlands, near Graham's Town, to whom I communicated the substance of my letter to you. Mrs. Barber's name is well known in the botanical world as a most accurate scientific observer; of her ornithological acuteness my work on the Birds of South Africa amply testifies, and you may place full confidence in the statements she has made in this communication.
