been, and will be. the work Of bringing

the cakes upon two barrels and

Then the father robin coaxed them
out. They followed him to lawn di-
rectly across the street, and there he
fed them and gave them lessons in
flying.

and female adult robin is marked
enough to make confusion of the sex

father and mother of that brood d.
vided their duties. MIR. Robin stayed
with the two young which left the
nest first, while Mrs Robin attended
to the nestlings left behind. These
three stayed in the nest for two days
after the departure of their stronger
brothers. During that time the father
did not visit the nest, nor did the
mother make any attempt to feed the
young which were in the fathers care.

of his sweeter-voiced comrades of the
