Abstract
INDIAN birds avail themselves largely of natural heat in incubating; as breeding-time generally begins in March, the hot weather is generally well on by the time the eggs are laid, and as the temperature of the air is never below a minimum of 98° – 100° during the day, the eggs are but little sat upon except during the night, and so rest and duty are combined judiciously.
