81. Martin (see p. 305). 



82. Sand Martin (see p. 306). 



83. Common Swift (see p. 308). 



84. Nightjar (see p. 312). 



85. Ring Dove (see p. 318).

92. Bustard. Now, alas! extinct; but within less than a hun- 

 dred years a regular breeder on the Wiltshire Downs (see 

 p. 353).

94. Lapwing (see p. 387). 



95. Common Heron (see pp. 395-402). 



96. Curlew. Mr. More expresses a doubt whether this bird 

 really breeds in Wiltshire and Dorsetshire, and conjectures 

 that where this has been stated the Stone Curlew (CEdicne- 

 mus crepitans) was mistaken for Numenius arquata ; but, 

 though it is unquestionable that there is often much con- 

 fusion between these two species, I am satisfied, by the 

 assurance of those on whose authority I can rely, that the 

 true Curlew (N. arquata) does occasionally breed on the 

 fallows of the open downs (see p. 413). 



97. Woodcock (see p. 428). 



98. Common Snipe. Occasionally, but rarely, found breeding 

 in Wiltshire.
