day is not the whittier his Yankee
ancestors are said to have been, but
there is plenty Of sale for pocket

bought extensively. The English and

COLLECTION OF BIRDS
Mounted Specimens on Exhibit.
 ton at Bronson Library.

The current issue of the bulletin of the Silas Bronson library gives a list of books on birds at the insti- tuition. something in the neighbor- hood of 75 volumes, and also states a collection of over 400 mounted birds is open to the public on the third floor of the library. This col- lection comprises nearly all the birds to be seen in Connecticut. Warblers, thrushes, fycatchers, sparrows, wrens, vireos, swallows, tanagers, Woodpeckers, nuthatches, kinglets, blackbirds. birds of prey and game birds, have all been paced in groups so that any individual specimen may be easily located. One who would study the different works on bird life at the library and be able to tell all about their habits would be quite an entertaining person. It is hard to find anybody who knows much about the feathered family of our own state, to say nothing of the whole United States and other countries.
