particular nets for taking rabbits, hares, &c. common to be bought in shops that fell nets, and they may be had larger or shorter as you think fit; from 15 to 20 fathoms is a good length, and for depth a fathom.

As rabbits often straggle abroad about mid-day for fresh grass, where you perceive a number gone forth to any remote brakes or thickets, pitch two or three of these hays about their burrows; tie close there: but in case you have not nets enough to inclose all their burrows, some may be stopped up with stones, &c. Then set out with the coney-dog to hunt up and down at a good distance, and draw on by degrees to the man who is with you, and lies close by the hay, who may take them as they bolt into it.
