THE BIRDS OF BRECONSHIRE. 79 
August, 1888, twenty-five brace were 
killed by four guns. I omitted to add 
that Grouse are plentiful on Lord 
Tredegar’s excellently-preserved manor 
near the ‘Storey Arms,’ and on the Mar- 
quis of Camden’s property near Trecastle. 
A most curiously coloured Grouse was 
killed by Mr. Rees Williams of Brecon 
in the latter end of August, 1891, on the 
Friddyllt Grouse Hill, Merthyr Cynog. 
Its wings were extremely long and it 
was more like a Partridge than a 
Grouse in colour on various parts of its 
body. It was pronounced a _ cross 
between a Grouse and a Partridge, and 
also a cross between a Pheasant and a 
Partridge by several who observed it, 
but both the late Lord Ljilford and Pro- 
fessor Newton, to whom I sent the Bird, 
pronounced it an abnormally coloured 
frouse., It fetched) mearly i'\£3 at. Mr. 
Williams’ sale and there was considerable 
competition for it. It is, however, well 
worth noticing in a work like the 
present. The Welsh for Grouse is 
Grugiar. 
GREY PARTRIDGE, Perdix cinerea. 
Still common, I am happy to say,
