quite lost time. By keeping a good look-out. it is won- 

 derful what a lot one may see from the train-window. 

 One does not ha\-e to go far in Denmark to disecner 

 what innnense numbers of Skylarks tiiere are in every 

 direction. The songs of innumerable Larks are incessant 

 the whole day. 



Tlie next discovery is the great al)undance of tlie AMiite 

 Stork. It is far and away more numerous liere than in 

 Holland, 

 where it is 

 not bv any 

 means so

 Here, liow-

 all events, 

 throughout 



Jutland — nearly every fariuliouse (and, outside the towns, 

 almost every house is a farniliouse) has a place reserved on 

 the gable-end of its thatched roof ibr a Stork's nest. 

 Besides these, there are in the towns also very many nests 

 on the house-roofs ; and to see the stately form of a AMiite 

 Stork frog-himting in the meadows close to the street is so 

 conunon that it ceases to be noticeable.

Bunting ( Einbcnzn uiduuia).
