Other birds are not so much pursued ; for, as they generally fly straight forward, the sports^ man loses sight of the chace, and what is still worse, runs a chance of losing his falcon also.
The pursuit of the lark by a couple of merlins, is considered, by him who regards the sagacity pf the chace, as one of the most dd ightful spectacles 1S4 N...ATURAL HISTORY spectacles this exercise can afford. One of the merlins soars with all its might to get the ascendency of the lark^ while the other remains below waiting the success of its companion's efforts; thus while the one stoops to strike its prey, the other seizes it at its coming down.
A somewhat similar practice is related by an ancient historian as common at Chili, where he says the Indians make use of them to catch a bird which they call quulteu, and which are pretty numerous among their marshy grounds.
