POSSIBLE NESTING OF QUAIL IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE. On July 10th, 1916, in the Cambridge district, Mr. W. Farren and I heard a Quail {Coiurnix c. cotiirnix) calling in a large rough pasture. We walked over to the place and flushed the bird. From the date and place it seemed likety that it might be breeding, although no nest was found. The species has now become very scarce in Cambridgeshire. Maud D.
