Abstract
REFERRING to the note by Mr. McMillan, in your issue of May 3, it may be of interest to some of your readers to know that we have in this museum a crow's nest from Rangoon entirely made of iron wire such as is used in fastening the corks of aërated water bottles. The donor, Mr. Joseph Dawson, of the Public Works Department, Rangoon, stated in his letter at the time that “wire nests are hardly a novelty in this country, as they can always be obtained from high trees in the vicinity of aërated water factories.” The nest in question has a piece of hoop-iron about three or four inches long woven into it; but with that exception it is entirely composed of the small wire, and is about a foot in diameter.
