Mr, JENyNs on the Ornithology of Cambridgeshire. 
be heard to a considerable distance. Montagu in his Ornitholo- 
gical Dictionary has evidently confounded this species with the 
Rock-Dove, (Columba livia, Temm.) which is supposed to be the 
origin of our dove-house pigeon, and is found in a wild state upon 
some of the steep shores and cliffs of Great Britain, but is not 
a native of Cambridgeshire. The Stock-Dove and Ring-Dove are 
indiscriminately called Woodpigeons by the country people.

TurTLE-Dove.—Some few individuals of this species visit the 
plantations in the neighbourhood of Bottisham regularly every 
spring, and are first seen towards the latter end of May, but 
they are never numerous, and do not stay with us long, departing 
again soon after the breeding season is over. The young birds, 
however, appear to remain for a longer period, as I have had them 
shot in the month of September. I have also noticed this species 
at Stetchworth and Wood-Ditton.

Common PuHeEaAsANT.—Instances have now and then occurred at 
Bottisham in which the hen of this species had partially assumed 
the plumage of the cock. This singular change has only been 
observed in individuals which had reached an advanced age. Such 
are termed by sportsmen mule-birds. 
Genus XXXII. PERDIX, Lath.

RED-LEGGED ParTrIDGE.—One of these birds was shot near 
Anglesea Abbey on the twenty-seventh of September 1821, and 
is at present in my possession.
