tree. Mr. Hoy informs me, that he has found the eggs early 

 in March, in mild seasons, and as late as the end of July ; 

 they are four or five, and usually resemble either Fig. 4 or 5 

 of the Plate, but without the beautiful blotches of Fig. 5, 

 which are of rare occurrence. I have some that are larger 

 than either figure, and less clearly spotted. These eggs, 

 though, for the most part, showing but slight resemblance to 

 those of the Sky Lark, are, nevertheless, admirably repre- 

 sented by the eggs of that species, as a reference to Fig. 3 

 will sufficiently indicate.
