381 ; Biichner, Liebe und Liebes-Leben, p. 52. xiv ANIMAL DISPLAY 195 by Beccari, are most wonderful specimens of animal industry. 1 But it is undoubtedly misleading to speak of them as artistic. As far as can be judged from the descriptions which are seldom complete the arrange- ment of the objects seems to be quite accidental. Darwin has indeed collected some most eulogistic accounts of the decorative taste of the Australian bower bird. But he has also, candidly enough, illustrated them with ...a picture, on which an irregular heap of shells and bones is to be seen in front of the bower. And the description he borrows from Mr. Strange is yet more significant. To judge from this account, which is further corroborated by the statement of Captain Stokes, the chief interest of the birds seems to be not the arranging of their treasures, but the playing with them. It has been noticed that the cock of the great bower bird amuses himself by flying to and fro in the bower carrying a shell in his bill, which he picks up on one side and carries to the other.
