CAPERCALLY. 
§ 2889. One.—From Mr. Reid, 1844. 
A well-marked specimen, evidently genuine. 
§ 2890. Zwo.—Pited Lappmark, 1850. From Mr. Lawrence 
Heyworth. 
Mr. Heyworth brought home eight eggs of the Zjdder, which he 
got in a house near Arjeploug, but almost every house had or had 
had some, as the Lapps collect great numbers for eating. He saw 
the birds plentifully on the banks of the Great Lake [Horn Afvan, 
out of which the Skelleftea River runs] on which Arjeploug stands, 
near the Arctic Circle. He shot here, and elsewhere, with the 
assistance of a little dog, eight or uine—mostly hens, while the people 
hunt the cocks most, as they sell best. Most of the eggs he had 
shewed that “smudged ” or wiped appearance which is probably 
caused at birth, while the markings are as yet very soft and unfixed. 
The Zjdder is almost or quite extirpated between Stockholm and 
Gottenburg, which the people attribute to the operations of Mr. Lloyd, 
On one of these eggs is, in Mr. Heyworth’s writing, ‘ Nordanas.” 
(Mr. Lloyd doubtless shot many Capercallies, but it is, of course, ridiculous 
to suppose that he made the species scarce in any part of Sweden. |
