Abstract
NATURALISTS live a life of surprises, but the surprise with which ornithologists must have one day last week received certain positive assurances of the leading journal would surely overstep the bounds of ordinary astonishment. We have, no doubt, been passing through a “silly season” of unwonted severity, as the morris-dance of late performed by many of the pseudo-ornithological correspondents of the Times proves; but a recent leading article in that journal eclipses all else that it has published on the subject.
