The CALANDRA;

The Spotted Mole.
TC H E Bird figured on this plate is
drawn of its natural fize: it feems to
belong to the family of Larks, by its gene-
ral colour, and the length of its hinder
claws or fpurs; though the beak is thicker
than many of the Lark kind.
The bill is of a yellowifh brown colour,
and dufky along the top of the upper man-
dible: the eyes are of a dark colour: from
the upper part of the bill, through the
eye, paffes a black or dufky line, above and
beneath which line it hath fome white-
nefs: on the fides of the head, below the
eyes, are alfo fome broken blackifh lines:
at the bottom of the neck, or beginning of
the breaft, it hath a remarkable black
collar; the throat and fore part of the
neck are whitifli, mixed with light brown:
the top of the head, upper fide of the
neck, the back, wings, and tail, are of a
reddifh brown, the middle parts of the
feathers being black : the breafit below the
collar is of a light brown, fpotted with
darker brown: the belly,   thighs, and
covert-feathers under the tail, are white:
the legs, toes, and claws are of a flefh-
colour; the hinder claws are pretty long,
as in Larks: the infides of the wings, and
the under fide of the tail, incline to afh-
colour.
The Spotted Mole is figured a little lefs
than life: it being an animal fo well known,
I need fay but little of it, viz. that it is
