“[Y]ou must make two plain halliers to accompany the tunnel-net […]”

“The halliers, or wings of the tunnel, must not be pitched straight, but in a sort of semicircle; and the birds, when they stop their march, will run along them to the middle, where the mouth of the tunnel is open.”

“He even adds that if the female is placed in the usual circular cage of wood, covered with cloth, and set out in the middle of a field, with a "Hallier" extended around the cage of the "Chanterelle," some males will be caught without any expenditure of trouble.”
