ing sparrow was hung side by side with
another In which were grasshoppsrs. No:
notice was taken by the sparrow Of his
neighbors, but next year, when he was:
again in the same society, he essayed the
grasshoppcrs' chant. And for the rest Of
his life. when the grasshoppers had long
been dead, the sparrow was accustomed
to utter polyglot song combining the
notes of the insect and those OF other
birds. The fact that young linnets will
sometimes learn the song of the nightin-
gale instead of their own Is mentioned,
Aud it is also stated that several kinds OF
birds in Thuringia sing much better than
