According to an official of the
Smithsonian Institution at Washing
ton, the latest enumeration OF the anil
mails known to science. includes no
less than three hundred and mir ETY.
species. The real number is believed
to be much larger.
It has been estimated that Of In
sects alone the earth harbors two mil
lion species: but the late Professor
Riley, a recognized authority on the
subject. held even that estimate as
far too low. According TO his opinion.
ten million would be moderate esti-
mate OF the number Of insect species.
The number of individuals is, Of

Mr.. A. Il. Norwood Of the Leicester
(England) Museum remarks that the
5olors Of birds eggs can in large
number Of cases be traced to the
necessity OF protective resemblance. +"
White eggs are usually laid by birds
nesting in holes in trees. or in dark
situations, like owls. woodpeckers and
some pigeons. Most birds nesting on
or near the ground lay eggs of an olive
green or brown ground color. The
eggs Of grouse. ptarmigan. and so
forth, resemble the heather amongst
which they are laid. Those Of the
ringed plover little tern and oyster
catcher resemble the sand and shin

closely simulate bare soil or dried
bents. The young chicks show similar
