. Feldbeobachtungen über britische Vögel . - auf dem Boden über ihre täglichen Ruhestätten, und leisten klare Beweise für ihre Anwesenheit in der Nachbarschaft. Ein letztes Wort: Trotz aller suggestiven Namen, die auf diesem Vogel lavished worden sind, ist er absolut harmlos; in der Tat, nicht manyare vorteilhafter. Es ist ein gefräßiger Futternahrung, und seine Ernährung ist nicht nur rein insectivorous, aber es ist vor allem von Insekten, die aktiv sind, wie die Hahnenkäfer. Der Wildschützer hat keinen Grund zur Beschwerde gegen dieNightjar, die Schutz durch die Hände von Sportlern, Bauern und Naturali verdient

. Field observations on British birds . - foundon the ground about their diurnal resting places, and afford clearevidence of their presence in the neighbourhood. One last word : despite all the suggestive names which havebeen lavished on this bird, it is absolutely harmless ; indeed, not manyare more beneficial. It is a voracious feeder, and its diet is notonly purely insectivorous, but it is mainly of insects which are activelynoxious, like the cockchafer. The game-preserver has no cause of complaint against theNightjar, which deserves protection at the hands of sportsmen, farmers and naturalists alike.

The Stone-chat {Praliiicola rubicola, Linn.). The name Stone-chat is not a very happy one ; Macgillivraylong ago (1839) pointed out that of our common Chats, the Wheatearwas the true Stone-chat, while the so-called Stone-chat, and its closeallv the Whin-chat, should more properly be called Bush-chats. Onthese grounds, he describes our Stone-chat under the name Black-headed Bush-chat, and this is certainly a far more suitable one thanthat in common use to-day ; but in the matter of names, we are avery conservative people ; once a name, good or bad, has takenroot and becomes firmly established among us, it takes somethingmore than a pinch of common sense to eradicate it.
