Now please do not think that there is anything wrong with the printing machine, or the printer working it this week, for I must admit that the first part of my notes look as if the printer had put the type into the machine in spoonfuls, but tve must not blame this gentleman this time and I wil lexplain the meaning of all these funny words. You will remember that I was to tell you about the bird that we will call the Canadian Night- ingale, but before doing so I thought you would like to see a written description in words of what a great ornithologist (that is a long word, but it means one who studies birds) thought the song of the English nightingale sounded like, but this does not represent the whole of the song. but you will agree with me that Bechstein the naturalist must have spent many hours before he could put the song of this wonderful singer into words. Now if the very best whistler in West Vancouver tried to whistle the above I am afraid that it would be a very poor at- tempt to imitate the real night- ingale as heard in the woods and country lanes of Old England. If you wish to hear the exact re- roduction of an English night- mgale, you can hear it on a Vic- tor record, which I consider one of the most wonderful records ever produced. However I must not dwell too long on the above bird as it can hardly be classed as one of the "Birds of our Gardens," as you will be wanting to hear about the White Crowned Sparrow, for this is the name of the bird that, bursts out into song at the most unexpected hours of the night.
