The common Fantail is of vigorous constitution, and lives usually to a good age, on which account it will bear in-breeding to any reasonable degree. VVe have known many twelve or fifteen years old; and even the small Scotch birds are, as a rule, also hardy and good nurses. But they have, as Mr. Ure says, the peculiarity that when they do go wrong, they generally go off all at once; and it is another singular thing that their " motion" seems to cease as suddenly. The Scotch style of bird, in whole or part, is now superscding the coarser bird, even those who used to show the English style having, as already indicated, crossed their strains with the smaller, and thus greatly improved them.

Messrs. Collingwood, Harvey, Lee, and Harmston, of the Fantail Club, have adopted this plan with great success.
