At the en-thronement of George Neville, younger brother of the Earl ofWarwick, and Archbishop ofYork, two hundred and fourcranes were served at thefeast; and in the Northum-berland Household Book theprice of the crane (cranys)is marked at sixteen pence—only the price of a Bordeaux( Kings Cross ) pigeon. Al-though at one time plentiful, the crane can no longer beregarded as a visitor to ourislands.

These birds take up their winterquarters under the burning sun of India, but pass the summer in the northernparts of Russia and Germany. After thearrival of the flocks in these countries, they break up into pairs, and the nuptialceremonies are accompanied by loud andfrequent trumpetings. A gentleman residing. in England had for some years been possessedof a pair of cranes ; one of them at lengthdied, and the survivor became disconsolate.He was apparently following his companion, when the master introduced a large mirrorinto the aviary. The bird no sooner beheldhis reflected image than he fancied she forwhom he mourned had returned to him; heplaced himself close to the mirror, plumedhis feathers, and showed every sign ofhappiness. The scheme answered com-pletely ; the crane recovered his health andspirits, passed almost all histime before the looking-glass, and lived many years after, at length dying from anaccidental injury.
