FRANCOLINUS VULGARIS, Stephens. 
[§ 3066. One—Smyrna. From Dr. Kriiper, through Herr 
Seidensacher, 1865. | 
L§ 8067. One.—Trikhomo, Cyprus, 24 April, 1875. From 
Lord Lilford, 1876. 
Lord Lilford wrote to me, 11 February, 1876 :—‘ There is an egg of Francolin 
at ‘the Den’ at your disposition, if you have not already gathered it. It is one 
of a nest taken with these hands (the female bird shot from it by a Cypriote in 
my sight) containing eleven eggs hard-set, and placed on the ground in the 
centre of a densely matted lentisk-bush, in a valley about two miles north-west 
of the village of Trikhomo, near the south-east corner of Cyprus, 24th April, 
1875.” The egg was received by me at No. 6 Tenterden Street, on the 15th March, 
1876.] 
PHASIANUS COLCHICUS, Linnzus. 
THE PHEASANT. 
§ 3068. Zwo.—Ditton, Buckingbamshire, not later than 1842. 
These eggs I, in company with Sir Francis E. Scott and W. G. 
Mount, found in a plantation of Lord Montague’s in Ditton Park, 
near Windsor. We nearly trod upon the mother, who rose directly 
from the nest, as she always does that there may be no tracks about 
it. We took only four of the eggs, which we agreed to keep as 
mementoes of our Sunday walk, two falling to my share. 
§ 3069. Zwo.—kKton, not later than 1842. 
From a batch of eggs brought by 'T. C. Garth to put under a hen 
of Trotman’s [at Eton]. Two of these only were hatched, and of the 
young, the rats took one and the cat the other. 
§ 3070. Four—Wigwell, Derbyshire, not later than 1843. 
George [Wolley] and Biden found these on the banks of a pond 
at Wigwell near Wirksworth.
