The Skylark 



( Alauda arvensis ) LiNN^us. 



MALE, FEMALE, NEST, AND EGGS. 



WHETHER from its familiar associations with man or not, this group has 

 been very much admired ; it certainly makes a pretty picture. 



The female, crouching in the grass, is watching her companion ascending 

 in the air. The remainder speaks for itself. 



It is the first group that was mounted by the Curator. 



Collected in Cheshire, and presented by Mr. A. O. Walker, F.L,.S.
