The Northern Fauna includes t\\o other species of 

 Bustard; viz., the Little Bustard ( I/it<-,< Tn>/>/>, 8\v. ; Drtrni- 

 Tropp, or dwarf-bustard, Danish; Otix h'lni.r. Linn.), and 

 the Otis Hoitbara, Linn. (A'i-<>;>f-7'/-ii/i/i, i. r. collared or 

 ruffed bustard, Sw.; Trave-Trapp, i.e. trotting bustard, 

 Dan.), both of which claim more southern latitudes as their 

 proper home. But as neither of these birds, excepting 

 in very rare instances, has been met with in Sweden or 

 Denmark, and as Northern ornithologists seem to kin>\v 

 little more about them beyond what is to be gathered 

 from books, I will merely mention that both the species 

 in question are believed to be polygamous, and that 

 their habits and manner of feeding are very similar to 

 those of the Great Bustard.
