Its commenferniMit is req^ilated l>y the return of the Wood- cock, after its brief August niigriitiou ; aud, the period of that return being uncertain, and dei)endant on the state of the wea- ther, and other influences, with wliicli we are not fully ac- quainted, tlie sportsman lias only to bide his timo, and take the season as he finds it. In truth, the variati m of the autumnal season is in this res- pect very great, as regards both the Woodcock and the Snipe. 1 have shot both of tliese birds together, in otmsitlerable num- bers, on the same ground, so early as the 12th <u- loth of Sep- tember; and again, in other seasons, neither tiie one nor the other bird have made their appearance until so late the mid- dle of October. As a general rule, however, I should say that AVoodcock be- gin to return to the Atlantic States, in ordinary seasons, about the middle of September, ami the Snipe about the first of Octo- ' :ii;,l.
