90 TETRAO TETRIX. 
found it in a Goshawk’s nest about three fathoms from the ground. He did 
not see the Goshawk, but he knew that the nest was of that bird. The egg 
seemed to me the immature product of a Capercally, and on my enquiring 
about it more particularly, Knoblock wrote to me (6 July, 1862) that Martin 
Piety told him he had seen a Goshawk carry a living hen Capercally into its 
nest, and suggested this as an explanation of the egg being found there. I know 
no better one; but the matter must remain uncertain. |
