THE BIRDS OF BRECONSHIRE. 81 
cumstance to me. Mr. Williams thought 
that Mr. Alfred Crawshay, of Llansaint- 
ffraed, turned out a couple of Red-legged 
Partridges about a year previously, and 
that they must have hatched a small 
brood. In the autumn following, he 
believes, there were four or five young 
ones, and surmises that the bird ‘he shot 
and also the one caught in Brecon were 
two of them; the remainder were not 
seen afterwards. Mr. Williams was an 
indefatigable sportsman, and had shot 
over the greater part of the county for 
more than forty years; and these were 
the only two he had ever seen or heard 
of as being killed; it justifies my inclu- 
ding it, however, in my list of the birds 
of our county. Since writing this, I hear 
that Sir John Dilwyn Llewelyn killed 
another in the parish of Garthbrengy, 
near Brecon, in 1896 or 1897. J[ have 
no doubt but that this is 4 genuine 
instance of its extension westward which 
it has been doing for many years, For 
instance it was unknown in Wiltshire 
thirty years ago, now it is common in 
many places in North Wilts.
