Where the Kingfisher now is seed is in the most secluded places ; where the trout streams murmur through the silent woods, but seldom trod by the foot of man ; or in the wooded gullies down which the stream from the mountains far above rushes and tumbles over the huge rocks, or lies in pools smooth as the finest mirror. It is here we sometimes see the Kingfisher flit past us in his rapid flight, and it is in these flights that the bird's gorgeous plumage shows to advantage. But when he is sitti...ng motionless as death on a bough over- hanging the calm and lucid pool, with his reflection showing in the clear waters, and the noonday sun shining upon his back, then he is seen in all the glorious splendour of his rich and refulgent plumage plumage which, to place it in its proper sphere, more befits the spicy groves of the tropics than our cold and foggy northern isle. Ah ! our heavy step has alarmed him ; he is off like an arrow in his rapid flight, and we can trace him far down the stream in his straight and unwavering course, appearing as an emeraid streak ol light.
