Mr. Caley says that " this Lark is very common. It may 

 frequently be seen both in the trees and on the ground. 

 Having met with it in the height of summer and the depth of 

 winter, and indeed I may almost say at all times, I consider it 

 not migratory." A specimen in the collection presented by 

 Mr. Brown was obtained on the South Coast.
