GAME-BIRDS. 39 
added Leicestershire* and, as lam informed by Mr. 
J. H. Gurney, North-west Norfolk. 
The bird is not found in Ireland; and it is doubtful 
whether it ever existed there, except as an introduced 
species in a few localities. 
RED GROUSE. Tetrao scoticus, Latham. 
Resident in Scotland, the north and north-west of 
England, Wales, and Ireland. 
With reference to the distribution of the Red 
Grouse in Great Britain, Mr. A. G. More ascertained 
(Ibis, 1865, p. 427) that it is plentiful on the hills of 
Monmouthshire, and inhabits Hereford, Shropshire, 
Stafford, Radnor, and Pembroke. It breeds in Derby- 
shire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and in every county 
north of lat. 54°, reaching the Outer Hebrides and 
Orkneys, but does not occur in Shetland. 
PTARMIGAN. Tetrao lagopus, Linnzus. 
Resident only on the higher mountains of Scotland 
and the Hebrides. 
GREY PARTRIDGE. Perdix cinerea, Latham. 
Resident, and generally distributed. The protec- 
tive efforts of game-preservers, in almost every part of 
the country, have contributed greatly to the increase 
of this species.
