"BROWN G. T. FUSCA." A new species based on Lewis and Clark's 

 narrative, and seems to refer to the Oregon Ruffed Grouse, generally 

 known as Bonasa umbellus sabiiii (Dongl.). This is clearly pointed 

 out by Dr Cones in his new edition of The History of Lewis and Clark's 

 Expedition, vol. iii p. 872, foot note. He thete proposes the adoption of 

 Ord's name, as it has priority over that of Douglass, and writes the 

 species Bonasa umbellus fusca (Ord).
