There are certain other species which on account 
of the slight acquaintance which has hitherto been 
gained with their habits and economy, it would’ be 
hazardous to assign to either of the foregoing mi- 
erating classes, and indeed I have some fears that 
a few now occupying places in those lists are rather 
too obscure and uncertain in regard of their move- 
ments generally, to have warranted my judging of 
them by those migrating actions which happened 
to have been noticed in them in the South of Devon 
when accidentally met with. But, it is to be hoped 
that those who rank as field-observers will not be 
entirely influenced by the statements andrules which 
I have laid down upon a novel method, and chiefly 
through individual knowledge and experience. 
1 have more than once in the course of this 
work taken occasion to remark how separate is the 
history of one animal from another, and that not- 
withstanding closeness of alliance, differences 
of no small amount may always be detected, even
