TETRAO MLOKOSIEWICZI.—BONASIA SYLVESTRIS. A | 
[§ 2931. One—Longshaw, Derbyshire, June, 1856. From 
Mr. O. Salvin. | 
[§ 2932. our.—Bloxworth Heath, Dorset, July, 1872. 
Taken by the gamekeeper, who had known of the nest for some time; and, 
though he found the Greyhen sitting upon it, thought that there was no chance 
of her hatching a brood. I picked out these four, from the number he brought 
me, and next day blew them, when to my surprise I found the young in them 
alive, and there can be no doubt that if he had left the nest alone, a very 
respectable family would have been brought off. The other eggs he took away 
with him. Black Grouse are not numerous in Dorset, but I knew of several 
spots affected by them, where one could most generally see two or three, and 
sometimes more. | 
TETRAO MLOKOSIEWICZI, Taczanowski. 
[§ 2933. One.—Lagodechi (?), Russian Georgia. From Count 
Branicki, through Mr. H. E. Dresser, 1875. 
The habits of this beautiful species are fully described by its discoverer, after 
whom it is named, in notes sent to Dr. Taczanowski, and communicated by him 
to Mr. Dresser, who printed them in his ‘ Birds of Europe’ (vii. pp. 219-221), 
and very kindly gave me one of the eggs, which he had received from 
Count Casimir Branicki, presumably taken in the locality where the first 
specimens of the bird seen by ornithologists were procured. |

coy W..and. W. HS." 
[These eggs were not entered in his book by Mr. Wolley, but Mr. Hudleston’s 
journal, kindly placed at my disposal, shews that a boy at the post-house at 
Tranevar took those gentlemen “to a nest of Hjerpe, which had been discovered, 
in consequence of a new fence having been made into the forest.” The place 
is near Ryssby. |
