Waverly, Ivlass. 
On the lOth I found in the grove by the Waverly Hospital among 
the large pines, a small bevy of Quail. They flew quite high among 
the trees, and appeared to me to start and stop in the trees like

in the trees, I could find no prints of their feet on the snow 
although it was very impressible and took perfect mould of the 
Itobinis feet
