It will also occa- sionally pursue its prey upon the wing for a consid- erable distance, and sometimes succeeds in bringing it to the ground. Like the Jays, this bird has the habit of stowing away its sur- plus food, as though for future use.

In a few hours the imbedded mass will become as transparent as glass and the tissue will seem to have nothing around it. Sometimes the collodion remains white and opaque for a considerable time. So far as the writer has been able to judge, this is due to moisture. If one breathes on the mass too much while imbedding, or if it is very damp in the room, the opacity may result.

It is rare in England, but there are many British birds that build in a similar manner, such as the Solan goose, or gannet, the
