March. 
A complete nest, taken by a forester on the Gordon Castle Estate. | 
[§ 3002. Azght.—Glenavon, 1855. From Lord March. 
Out of eighteen, the contents of two or perhaps three nests. Lord March 
(who, in 1860, succeeded his father as sixth Duke of Richmond, and died in 
1903) had given the strictest instructions that Ptarmigans’ eggs only were to 
be taken, and he told me that all these and those in the preceding section 
could be safely trusted. One of these is aremarkably sinall specimen, measur- 
ing 1°53 by ‘9 inch, yet can scarcely be called a dwarf. |

Out of seven sent by Mr. Peter Robertson, who wrote to my brother that 
these were taken from two nests, the one on Mealvourie, the other on 
Stob Ghabhan. My brother was unable to separate the nests. |
