Abstract
INCLOSED is a letter that I had from my friend. Dr. Grierson, Dumfriesshire, a month ago, complaining of a pair of ducks that had gobbled up almost every one of his yellow crocuses, and only the yellow ones. I am further informed by Mr. John Young, Hunterian Museum, Glasgow, that the habit of the sparrows taking the yellow crocuses without touching the blue or striped has been long known to him.
