. British birds. Birds. ( 34 ) THE SENSE OF SMELL IN THE GREY LAG-GOOSE. MARY G. S. BEST and MAUD D. HAVILAND. (Plate 1.) In support of Dr. Penrose's observations on the sense of smell in birds (see Vol. VI., p. 266), we venture to record the following incident which came under our notice recently, while photographing the Grey Lag-Goose [Anser anser) in the Hebrides. On May 8th, 1913, we found the nest of a Goose with partly-incubated eggs, and put up a hiding-tent close by. Owing to the nature of the ground, the tent was erected about nine feet north-west of the GREY LAG-GOOSE APPEOACH
