BREEDS within the Arctic Circle bejond the limits of forest-growth inthe northern portions of the Old and New Worlds; on migration itoccurs throughout the greater part of Europe, though hitherto not recordedfrom Spain and Portugal ; eastward it is met with in Turkestan, S. Siberia, andN. China. To Great Britain this bird was at one time only an irregular visitor, butsince the winter of 1869-70 when there was a considerable immigration to oureastern coasts, its appearance in autumn and winter has been regular; accordingto Mr. Aplin, specimens have visited us on the northward migration in spring aslate as April 22nd. On the eastern coast of Scotland it has been met with asfar north as St Andrews. In 1906 a few visited Fair Isle (Shetlands), fromOctober to December. The adult male of the Shore-Lark has the forehead, a stripe partly en-closing the eye and ear-coverts, and extending over the sides
