This theory of semi-torpidity does not seem to have been yet entirely refuted, though it is usually regarded as impossible, but I am inclined to think there may be something in it. I would like to have the opinion of ornithologists regarding the disappearance of the Swallow on Dec. 11th, and its reappearance on Dec. 21st.
