Which of thefe are found fo far fouth as Louijlana cannot be 

 determined. 



12. Pheasants. This is fo vague a denomination, that 

 it is next to impoiTible to find out which kind of pheafant 

 the author means ; for there is but one pheafant in America, 

 in Cayentte, and Guiana, and therefore it is dubious whether 

 this bird is found fo far north as Louifiana : I am therefore 

 inclined to believe, the author meant the long-tailed grou:, 

 which bears a great fimilarity to a pheafant, and is found as 

 far as Virginia, which is not above three or four degrees 

 more north than the Akanzas. 



13. Partridges. This feems to be the American par- 

 tridge, Cat.lM. 12. Tetrao Virginianus, Li7tn. 



14. Quails.
