Naturalists have arrived at the con.
clusion that the brain In birds is large
In proportion to the body. II 1t is ad.
mitted that intelligence depends upon
the weight of brain, then the goldfinch

birds; the brain weighs one-fourteenth
Of it's whole body. 1t must be remarked,
however, that attempts to draw con.
illusions as to the intelligence Of GER
tain birds from a comparison Of the
weight of the brain with that Of the
body have been considered futile. In
man the brain forms from one-twenty.
second to one-thirty-third Of the whole
body; in the canary, one-fourteenth |;
the sparrow, One-twenty-f fifth; the
chafiinch, one-twenty-seventh; the

vents him from getting into unseen
