LAGOPUS SCOTICUS. 93 
§ 2941. Seven.—Sutherland, 1850. 
Out of thirteen, several of which are badly broken and some 
evidently from a deserted nest, as their upperside is bleached by 
exposure to weather, received from Mr. John MacGregor. One of 
them is less than any of the six Ptarmigans’ sent at the same time 
[§ 2992], and others are of the same size as Ptarmigans’. 
§ 2942. Zwenfly.—Moorfoot Hills, Mid Lothian, 1851. 
Out of two dozen sent me by Mr. Daniel M. Falconer, of Loanhead, 
who wrote that “they were taken from the Heriot Moor, Moorfoot 
Hills—the most of them I took myself.” 
§ 2943. Mourteen.—Orkney, 1851. From Mr. George Harvey. 
Out of seventeen—two of them, with very few spots, are marked 
“Grouse” by Mr. Harvey. 
[Two others given to Dr. Heermann in 1861. ] 
§ 2944, One.—Scotland. From Mr. John Evans, of Darley 
Abbey, 1853. 
From Mr. Roberts, of Scarborough, to whom it had been sent by 
Adams, the keeper of the Bass Rock. 
[This seems to have been kept on account of its large size: 2°1 by 134 inch. ] 
§ 2945. Zwo.—lIreland. From Dr. Frere, 1853. 
Marked in Dr. Frere’s book “ Davis of Clonmel.” These are of a 
singular variety. 
[These, like the two sparsely spotted specimens from Orkney in 1851 above 
noted (§ 2943), shew considerable similarity to eggs of Tetrao.} 
[§ 2946. One.—Fingal, Yorkshire, 1842. | 
[§ 2947. One.—Leadenhall Market, 1844. 
Perfectly formed but uncoloured, and evidently taken from the body of the 
parent. |
