Mr. Yarrell stated to the Meeting that on the 3rd of January of 

 the present year 1856, a great Bustard, Otis tardą of Liimteus, was 

 taken in Berkshire. It was found about a mile from Hungerford, in 

 the direction of Salisbury, by a boy, who observed that the bird had 

 a broken leg, and conld not, or did not, raiše itself off the ground. 

 He dragged it along by oue wing to the farrn to which he had bet n 

 sent, where a man broke the bird' s neck, that the boy might carry 

 it back home the easier. The bird is now at Mr. Leadbeater's for 

 preservation. It was a malė, and appears to be in its second year.
