Dr. Hartert has heard that night- ingales have been recorded in Oudh, so jumps to the conclusion that the species winters there, even as it does in Egypt. This statement will doubtless NIGHTINGALES IN INDIA 149 be copied, without acknowledgment, into many future text-books, for plagiarism is very rife among men of science ; and t...hus the popular notion that nightingales are common in India will be fortified by scientific support ! Nightingales undoubtedly do winter in India but only in cages. We have many fine songsters in Hindustan, but the nightingale is not one of them.
