drumming OF the SnIpe.

One of the most remarkable of bird
sounds is the so-called drumming OF
the snipe. The noise is difficult to de
scribe and is often compared to bleat
ing. The snipe, in fact. has been
called the bleater. Tennyson used
the word hum, speaking of THE
swamp where huns the snipe."
1t is now generally agreed that the
noise is made by the vibration of the
tail feathers. writer, however
carefully watching the snipe during
its fights in which it makes this re
markable noise is convinced that the
wings assist in its production. This
seems exceedingly probable, since the
wings are seen to be in actual gibra
ton during its emission. Country
