The Lapwing is common in moft parts of Europe. Extends to PcAcb. 



the Feroe ifles, and even to Iceland *. Is very frequent in Ruffia ; 

 but becomes very rare beyond the XJrallian chain ; yet a few have 

 been obferved about the rivers Oh and Angara, and beyond lake 

 Baikal; but never farther to the eaft. They extend fouthward as 

 far as Perjia and Egypt f, where they winter ; but, unable to bear 

 the vaft heats of the fummer, migrate to the countries about 

 Woronefch and Aftracan %. Appears in Lombardy, in April ; re- 

 tires in September. Continues in England, and I believe in France, 

 the whole year ; but conftantly fliifcs its quarters in fearch of food, 

 worms and infedls. In France, multitudes are taken for the table in 

 clap-nets, into which they are allured by the playing of a mirror.
