Abstract
IN NATURE of January 7 Mr. W. E. Collinge (for whose work I have the greatest respect) places the blackcap in his list of injurious birds. As at once a gardener and an observer of birds for about sixty years I wish to protest against this accusation, which, if acted upon by fruit farmers, would soon lead to the extinction of the most charming songster of all the true warblers.
