200 GUN, EOD, AND SADDLE. 



quail of Europe I know well ; I have killed them in im- 

 mense numbers in Spain, Italy, and Greece. Twenty 

 years ago in the north of Ireland, when partridge 

 shooting, I seldom would conclude a day without bag- 

 ging several couple ; so I have no hesitation in say- 

 ing that these birds are so totally dissimilar, that 

 what might affect the residence of one should not be 

 entertained as an argument to prevent the intro- 

 duction of the other.
