Wheat-ear ', 270. This bird is much fatter after a 



rainy feafon than a dry one, for 

 it not only feeds on the flies 

 mentioned in its hifrory, but on 

 earth- worms, which come out 

 of the ground in great numbers 

 during wet weather. 



Ruffs 365. Are taken in many places by 



a fingle day net, concealed 

 in (hallow water, in which little 

 iflands are made within the 

 compafs of the net, and on them 

 the Hales are put. 



Knot, $66. In the prefent hard winter, num- 



bers of the fpecies we call the 

 afJo-coloredfandpiper were brought 

 to us. They varied greatly, 

 but on examination we believe 

 them to be the knot, fo requefl 

 thofe two fpecies may be con- 

 fide red as one. 



Small /potted water- Breeds in Lincoln/hire, where it 

 hen, 386. is known by the name of quail.
