Abstract
ABOUT a year ago I wrote to NATURE (December 16, 1909) giving certain facts which I had noticed with regard to the position selected by birds when building. There seemed to be good reasons for such selection, but I wanted to know whether the conditions I had noticed were local or general. The letter sent to NATURE by Mr. A. R. Horwood showed that similar conditions were found in Leicestershire, Shropshire, and Surrey. Of the information which reached me directly, one letter deserves mention.
