Abstract
ON Friday last, July 27, as I was walking along the Sion Vista in Kew Gardens, towards the river, I heard, far off to my left, the cry of a cuckoo. There was but one cry, and that had not the duplication of the first sound which usually marks his later utterances with us. Clearly though I had heard it, I might almost have doubted the testimony of my ears if I had not, on turning suddenly to the direction from which the sound had come, seen the bird rise quickly and fly across the river.
