ae furprife, had a fmall back toe. 
No. 125.—The Sea Lark. Charadri ius Eiaicale: 
Thefe birds are very common on our fea-coaftiin athe farsienitge) > 
but I have reafon to think that they, or at leaft the generality of 
them, leave us in the winter; for, during my refidence at Haftings, 
from the 19th of November 1792 to the 11th of February 1793, I
