Extract

On the 17th September, 1964, a Mute Swan, Cygnus olor (Gmelin) was received for examination. It was a male bird, estimated to be about three years old, which had been found at Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, and had been killed on account of a broken wing which had healed badly. It was believed to be of wild stock.
