added Leicestershire* and, as lam informed by Mr. 

 J. H. Gurney, North-west Norfolk. 



The bird is not found in Ireland ; and it is doubtful 

 whether it ever existed there, except as an introduced 

 species in a few localities. 



EED GEOTJSE. Tetrao scoticus, Latham. 



Resident in Scotland, the north and north-west of 

 England, Wales, and Ireland. 



With reference to the distribution of the Red 

 Grouse in Great Britain, Mr. A. G. More ascertained 

 (Ibis, 1865, p. 427) that it is plentiful on the hills of 

 Monmouthshire, and inhabits Hereford, Shropshire, 

 Stafford, Radnor, and Pembroke. It breeds in Derby- 

 shire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and in every county 

 north of lat. 54, reaching the Outer Hebrides and 

 Orkneys, but does not occur in Shetland. 



PTAEMIGrAN. Tetrao lagopus^ Linnaeus. 



Resident only on the higher mountains of Scotland 

 and the Hebrides. 



GEEY PAETEIDGE. Perdix cinerea, Latham. 



Resident, and generally distributed. The protec- 

 tive efforts of game-preservers, in almost every part of 

 the country, have contributed greatly to the increase 

 of this species.
