Made an hot-bed for the hand-glasses. I opened a hen swift, which a cat had caught, & found she was in high condition, very plump & fat: in her body were the rudiments of several eggs, two of which were larger than the rest, & would probably have been produced this season. Cats often catch swifts as they stoop to go under the eaves of houses.
The quantity of rain that feel at Selborne between May 1st 1779, & May 1st 1780.
