 last native birds killed was shot at Chisholm Park, 

 Inverness, and is believed to be in the museum at 

 Newcastle upon Tyne*. The species was reintroduced 

 into Scotland in 1836, by Lord Bredalbane and Sir 

 Thomas Fowell Buxton, through the instrumentality 

 of the well-known sportsman and author Mr. L. 

 Lloyd. 



Full and interesting particulars of this enterprise 

 will be found in Lloyd's ' Game-birds and Wildfowl 

 of Sweden and Norway,' pp. 3436 ; and the reader 

 may also be referred to a good account of the bird 

 from recent observation in Scotland by Mr. Robert 

 Gray, of Glasgow, in his lately published work

 The Gaelic name for this bird is " Cabar Coille," 

 whence the English " Capercaillie " is doubtless 

 derived.
