Abstract
I AM naturally adverse to polemics, for I believe that what little time we have can be better employed. And yet, as an old client and reader of NATURE, and as Director of the Italian Bureau of Ornithology, I can hardly allow the several communications on the alleged decrease of swallows and martins and the destruction of small birds in general in Italy, which have appeared in recent numbers of NATURE (see p. 271), to pass without a comment.
