DISSEcTS BIRD CCURTSHIP
Writer Declares That This Feature of Feathered Life Results from

Bird courtship. then, is not process of selection on the part of the females, but Is process of arousing the mat ing instinct In the females on the part of the males l doubt if there are any conscious preferences on either side says John Burroughs. in Atlantic.
 If the female refuses the male it is not because he does not fill her eye or arouse her admiration. but because the mating instinct is not yet ripe. In ether words the female does not ac- cept the male because she admires him. but because she is ready to mate have heard of two Albino robins thar mated showing. if this be true that ab- normal coloring did not stand in the way. Darwin quotes from an observer in South Africa who says that the fe- male widowbird disoWns the male when he is robbed of the long tail feathers with which he is ornamented during the breeding season. This was very likely because this pluckng broke his spirits and reduced his breeding in stinctS below the normal.
