SNOW BUNTING. 503 



From the carpal joint to the end of the first quill-feather, 

 which is the longest in the wing, four inches and one 

 quarter. 



Mr. Knox states that " out of nearly forty which were 

 captured by one bird-catcher, during a single winter, on 

 the downs near Brighton, only two had the white head 

 characteristic of the adult Snow Bunting." 



The vignette represents a Falconer carrying his Hawks 

 to the field on his cadge.
