This series of letters, in whic'h much of the natural history of the Pcrdicidce and Tetraon- 

 idee is brought out, was reprinted from the Neio York Mirror and the American Turf Register 

 and Sporting Magazine, to which they were addressed during 18-10. 



It forms a part of the iuterniinal)Ie tioating literature which evidences the ahscdute imp«s- 

 aibility of teaching sportsmen at large whether a quail is a partridge, or whether a partridge 

 is a (piail, or whether one or the other or neither of these is a pheasant, or whether— but I 

 forbear. The many titles bearing upon this subject will show how hopeless is tlie case. Sci- 

 entists have not seldom attempted to set sportsmen right, but have generally had to give 

 it up.
