Mr Wollaston believes that the the insects of Madeira owing to their isolated position, hence I presume to the ill-effects of interbreeding, are have become in several cases ( ) reduced in size. On comparing some of the birds, obtained by Mr E. Vernon Harcourt in this same island, with British specimens, I find that these Rock Pigeons are smaller than ordinary British specimens Some other species seem to be of exactly of the same size.

When the œsophagus of a dead bird was inflated, it was seen to be larger than in other breeds, and not so distinctly separated from the crop. The Pouter inflates both its true crop and œsophagus; the Turbit inflates in a much less degree the œsophagus alone. The beak of the Turbit is very short, being .28 of an inch shorter than that of the rock-pigeon, proportionally with the size of their bodies; and in some owls brought by Mr. E.
