HORNED LARK—,];. Photo by E. R. IV, affords a meeting ground for the three forms. It is the summer populationof this extensive debatable ground which invades Ohio in winter, and floodsus with intergrades. It is noteworthy in this connection that the Ohio breed-ing birds, typical 0. a. praticola, so far as known, are largely lost to sightduring the winter inundation from the north; and the question arises whetherthey do not retire southward as a wlmle or in part during the winter season.
