A curious circumstance in connection with the
recent epidemic of cholera at Hamburg was
the departure of all the birds from the city few
DAYS prior to the outbreak. Numerous records
exist of birds thus suddenly disappearing from
plague threatened centres, and throughout the
world these Fittings are generally looked upon

nigYations have been observed in various parts
