Their interior resembles a honey-comb, pierced with a thousand holes, each of which forms a snug retreat for a nest. More care appears to have been bestowed upon their outside, than upon that of the generality of the dwellinghouses, (the exteriors of which are little studied, ) for they are painted and ornamented.
