102 THE CAPERCAILLIE. 



GALLOWAY AND WIGTON. 



In 1869, at Newtou Stewart, a female bird was shot {vide 

 ' Scot. Nat.' vol. i. p. 44). Probably a strayed bird from the 

 Glenapp introduction in Ayrshire, or the Sanquhar intro- 

 duction in Dumfries. (See also E. Gray — " On the present 

 distribution of the Capercaillie in Scotland ;" ' Proc. Nat. Hist. 

 Soc.,' Glasgow, vol. ii. p. 10 ; read December 28, 1869.) 



LANARK. 



In 1868 a fine mafe was shot by Henry Lees, Esq., at 

 Auchengray, near Airdrie. Probably wandered from some 

 locality where attempts at introduction had been made. ( Vide 

 E. Gray, op. cit.) 



KIRCUDBRIGHT. 



1869. In November 1869 a female was killed at Auchen- 

 cairn. Probably a strayed bird from Glenapp or Sanquhar 

 (' Scot. Nat.; vol. i. p. 44). 



DUMFRIES. 



Mr. Lindsay, the Duke of Buccleuch's gamekeeper at 

 Sanquhar, tried to introduce them, but failed. (Auct. E. 

 Gray, oj). cit.)
