THE COMMON BUZZARD (liUTEO VULGARIS). collect and deal in skins and eggs, and whose senseless pride it is to have none but British-taken specimens in their cabinets. This enormity is only equalled by the folly of those who write to the papers and tell them where to go. Surely that is to prostitute the study of natural history.
