. A popular handbook of the birds of the United States and Canada . grets. Happy Nuttall, to have died before variety making came intofashion! Vou had but one form of Horned Lark to deal with, while I am confronted with eleven. Fortunately a large number ofthese sub-species have never taken it into their horned heads tocross into the territory under present consideration, so I am savedfrom puzzling myself and my readers with their diagnosis. The true alpestris is found during summer in the region be-tween the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Greenland west to HudsonBay, and in winter south to about latitude 35°. It is quite commonalong the New England shores while migrating and in winter. The Prairie Horned Lark {O. alpestrispraticold) is a smallerbird with very gray back ; line over eyes white ; c^va pale yellow. This race is found in summer along the upper Mississippi valleyand Great Lake region, eastward sparingly to Montreal, Vermont, and Long Island. It is resident over the greater portion of itsrange, but some few winter south to the Carolinas and Texas.. SKYLARK. Alauda arvensis. Char. Above, yellowish brown streaked with dark brown, darkest onback and crown ; buff streak over the eye ; wings brown, margined withbuff and tipped with white ; outer tail-feathers mostly white ; below, palebuff, spotted and streaked with brown. Length about 7 inches. Nest. In a meadow, under a tuft of grass ; made of coarse and finegrass. Eggs. 3-5; dull gray, marked with olive brown; 0.95 X 0.70. Although not mentioned by Nuttall, this European bird becomesentitled to a place among the birds of America through its occur-rence casually in Greenland and Bermuda. About 1886 a numberof these birds were liberated in New York State and New Jersey, and in 1888 a colony appeared established at Flatbush, LongIsland ; but the experiment has not been successful, for this colonyhas disappeared, and Mr. Frank M. Chapman, writing in 1895, says: At the present time the species is not known to exist inNor
