Scotland’s Strange Birds.

From tlie> small island of St. Kilda, off Scotland, 20,000 young ganuets and an immense number of eggs are annually collected, and although this bird lays only one egg per annum and Is four years in obtaining its maturity its numbers do not diminish. Obviously such birds must reach a great age or they would long ago have been exterminated.
