into the cultivated portions of the Feltwell Fen. His uncle and 
himself bought one hundred and nineteen dozen and live, all 
taken in “hingles.” These must have been brought in about 
January 29th. He does not think any were taken before the storm 
on the 18th, and he jjaid afterwards for seventeen dozen more. 
Probably all were caught between January 18th and the 3rd or 
4th of February, all the fields being nearly bare of snow from the 
high wind on the 18th. The Larks stayed some time, and did not 
lose condition till just at the end of their visit to that neighbour- 
hood. The great passage was on the 17th, the day before the 
storm ; and ho heard there was a great pa.ssage on the same day at 
Lyndhurst in Hampshire, all the birds going S.W. 
Fkukuary.
