nSSIEOSTEES DIURNI. 



They skim along witli marvellous rapidity, and 

 quarter their ground over meadows, lakes, and 

 rivers, wheel round barns and steeples, and dash 

 along apparently as untired when evening closes as 

 when they began their aerial exercise with the first 

 dawn of day. They feed and drink on the wing, 

 and pursue each other in sportive chase, performing 

 the most rapid and beautiful evolutions.
