Case 



Perdix cinerea var. montana, Jardine, Nat, Lib. 

 Orn., IV., p. 101, plate 2, 1834. This variety occurs occa- 

 sionally in the mid-eastern part of Northumberland either 

 in small coveys or single individuals, but, so far as is known, 

 recorded only in recent years. The young have a distinct 

 first plumage, as may be seen in an example under the shade 

 on the adjoining Floor Cabinet, and others in intermediate 

 dress, not having yet acquired the mature plumage. An 

 example of this variety, shot near E. Dereham, Norfolk, was 

 figured on February 13th, 1897, in the "Field" News- 

 paper. The chick in the down of this variety is unknown.
