wheat. The fieldlark is fed, reared, and managed, 

 in the same manner as the woodlark, and, being 

 rather uncommon, and a sweet song-bird, is much 

 admired by amateurs. We may here mention, 

 that Bewick says, " We have occasionally met 

 with another bird of the lark kind. It frequents 

 woods, and sits on the higher branches of trees, 

 from whence it rises singing to a considerable 

 height, descending slowly, with its wings expand- 

 ed, and tail spread out like a fan. Its note is full, 

 clear, melodious, and peculiar to its kind."
