THE CAPERCAILLIE IN SCOTLAND, 



With some Account of the Extension of its Range since 

 its Restoration at Taymouth in 1837 and 1838. 



By J. A. HARVIE-BROWN, F.Z.S., 



Member of the British Ornithologists' Union, &c. 



"A carefully prepared and exhaustive monograph of the Caper- 

 caillie in Scotland, which ought to be perused by every proprietor of 

 an estate, forester, and naturalist in the country. Every point in its 

 history, nature, and habits, is collected and arranged with great skill, 

 up to the most recent date. The work is embellished with several 

 beautiful illustrations of Scotch scenery. . . ." Journal of Forestry. 



' ' This book was well worth writing, and Mr. Harvie- Brown has 

 written it well." Zoologist. 



" Mr. Harvie-Brown fills in the picture with extreme care : indeed, 

 nothing is so noticeable in his book as the minute conscientiousness 

 with which he has investigated every detail of the subject." M. G. 

 WatUns. 



"In an ingenious map, so contrived as to show how the bird has 

 spread from the place of its introduction in the central district of 

 Taymouth, I find it has now become pretty generally acclimatised all 

 over the country ; and the chronological account of its spread through- 

 out Scotland, which has been prepared by Mr. Harvie-Brown, is 

 exceedingly interesting, and shows, more than any other portion of 

 the volume, the painstaking way the Author has gone about his 

 labours." Bertram in Saily's Magazine. 



"The medal of the second class of the Acclimatisation Society of 

 France was awarded for this publication (Publication historique 

 sur la re introduction die Grand Tetras en Ecosse) at the twenty- 

 fifth annual public meeting, on the 26th May 1882.
