Swallows also assemble for the purpose of travelling. Still more remarkable is the so-called pigeon of America. They collect in almost countless millions. The celebrated American ornithologist, Wilson, calculated at 2, 000, 000 a single band which he saw in Indiana; and Audubon relates that one autumn day he left his house at Henderson, on the banks of the Ohio, and whilst traversing OF THE INTELLIGENCE AND OF INSTINCT. 173 the uncultivated plains near Harden sburgh, he saw these wild pigeons i...n considerable numbers, flying from north-west to south-east ; as he journeyed on to Louisville the flock of birds became more and more numerous, until the light of midday was obscured as in an eclipse ; the droppings fell like snow ; before sunset he arrived at Louisville, a distance of fifty-five miles, but the flight of the migratory pigeons still went on ; this phenomenon continued for three days ; the droppings from the birds formed a distinct layer on the soil ; forests were stripped of their leaves, and sometimes destroyed, and the traces of their passage will remain for years.
