[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.")

Sta,—Your correspondent whose letter appears in your paper of the 23rd inst. under this heading names February 11th as an unusually early date to hear the lark. I should like you to record that I and several others saw and heard more than one lark on January 29th this year. I made a note that it was unusually early even for this immediate district, which is celebrated for these

songsters.—I am, Sir, &c., W. BEDE GREENER. Boyne Hill, Chapelthorpe, near Wakefield.
