This is not uncommon in England, and is feen along with the 

 Stone-Chatter on the heaths, during the fummer-months -, where 

 it breeds, making the neft much after the manner of that bird. 

 It lays five dirty white eggs, dotted with black *. It feems not 

 to be fo common as the Stone-Chatter, and in the northern parts 

 of England difappears in winter. I have feen them in Kent 

 throughout the year. This is common alfo on the continent of 

 Europe, in France, Italy, Germany, and the more temperate parts 

 of Ruffia j- ; but it is faid to be lefs common than the Stone- 

 Chatter. 



Its food is chiefly infects ; and is faid to be as good as the 

 Ortolan, when fat, and in good condition. 



In the Leverian Mufeum are two fmall varieties ; the firft of 

 the common colour, except the belly, which is much varied with 

 white ; the other with a confiderable mixture of pale grey on 

 the upper parts, and the tail feathers tipped with the fame.
