Instinct

The message was published on August 21, 1873

Introduction

The correspondence published in the February and March issues of Nature has been read, as well as your article on “Perception and Instinct in Lower Animals” in the March 20 issue, and this has led me to believe that I might be able to provide some evidence related to the issue at hand; and also that it may have acoustic value as it has been obtained from a field of observation not generally accessible, and from the fact that cattle and horses in Australia are subjected to very different conditions from those prevailing in England.
