PLATE II 

 PARTRIDGE. Perdix cinerea 



June i2//r, 1898. Mildenhall, Suftblk. The Partridge's nest depicted in this 

 Plate was in a large patch of bracken on the outskirts of a wood ; not twenty- 

 paces from it was another nest which contained four Pheasant's eggs in 

 addition to those of the Partridge. The keeper told me that they often 

 found Pheasants' and Partridges' eggs in the same nest, and occasionally Red- 

 legged Partridges' eggs too.
