A scanned page fragment shows a cryptogram and crossword like puzzle by Wally Bishop with clues and a cryptquote quoted as Yesterday's Cryptoquote and a reference to a distribution syndicate. The text lists numbered clues and partial phrases across two puzzles with cryptic letter mappings.
The passage discusses the drinking habits of mourning doves and other birds, noting water intake by head lifting. It mentions spoonlike beaks, a fish in the Amazon that leaps and toys with its young, and references to an admiral and various fragments on weather and foods. The text is garbled and contains many misspellings and stray phrases.
