ROCK PTARMIGAN. 
(Lacopus RUPESTRIS.) 
Rejected from the B.O.U. List. 
Rejected by H. Saunders. 
Rejected by Seebohm. 
Mr. Saunders points out that the Sutherlandshire bird of 
1834, has been considered the female of L. Mutus, in 
summer dress. 
He does not refer to the occurrence of 1825, 1m Perth- 
shire, of a specimen, of which there is an account in the 
notes of Mr. J. Sabine; and which, having’ been placed 
in the Stanley collection, as having been killed near 
Blair ; and considered to be a hybrid between the Red 
Grouse, and Ptarmigan; was afterwards pronounced to be 
the Rock Ptarmigan. 
Eggs taken in Labrador, June 8th, 1883, in my pos- 
session, are, in my opinion, rather more boldly blotched 
than those of the RedGrouse, and Ptarmigan; the ground 
colour warmer in tint than eggs of the latter, a clutch is 
from four to eight. 
Davie gives the measurement, 1.63 by 1.18 inches.
