259. Tetrao tetrix Z. Black Grouse. 
Resident, local, occurring chiefly near Sheffield, sparingly 
near Huddersfield, occasionally on the moors of Wensley- 
dale and Nidderdale, and near Richmond. At Lartington, 
in upper Teesdale, they have been introduced, and are now 
fairly numerous. 
260. Tetrao urogallus Z. Capercaillie. 
Fam. TURNICIDZ. 
261. Turnix sylvatica (Desf). Andalusian Hemipode. 
Accidental visitant from Southern Europe and Northern 
Africa, of extremely rare occurrence. 
Huddersfield, one near Fartown, April 7, 1865 (Gould, P.Z.S., 
1866, p. 210). 
Order 3. GRALLZ, 
Fam. RALLIDZ. . 
262. Rallus aquaticus Z. Water-Rail. 
Resident, local, far from numerous. Doubtlessly breeds 
annually in suitable localities in the county, but from the 
secluded nature of its habitats, and the skulking habits of 
the bird, its nest is very seldom found, young birds being 
more frequently met with. Winter visitant, immigrants 
arriving in September and October; the species is then 
more common, particularly so in severe seasons. 
263. Porzana maruetta (Leach). Spotted Crake. 
Resident, extremely local in its distribution and limited in 
its numbers; as a winter visitant very local but not un- 
common. A few pairs breed annually on the sedgy banks 
of the river Hull, at Beverley ; and it has been known to 
breed occasionally near York and Doncaster.
