First of two talks by Dr. A. J. Marshall
The bower birds of Australia and New Guinea, who before mating build display-grounds and decorate them with an extraordinary variety of objects, have been known to naturalists for more than a century; but it is only in recent years that progress has been made with a scientific interpretation of their behaviour. Dr. Marshall, Reader in Zoology at St. Bartholomew's Medical College, has made a special study oi their habits, which he describes in his first talk.
