CAPERCAILLIE CARRION. 41 



one sent by the laird of Glenorchy to Charles II. at Perth, 

 " who accepted it weel as a rare tie, for he had never seen 

 any of them." As regards the date of its former extinction 

 in Scotland, Pennant records in his first tour in Scotland 

 in 1769, having himself seen a cock-bird, and this seems the 

 latest actual record, although of course the bird doubtless 

 lingered a few years later. As regards Ireland, Rutty 

 records it in co. Leitrim in 1710 and Pennant says it was 

 to be found in co. Tipperary as late as 1760. Willughby 

 in 1678 calls it " Cock of the Wood " only, and speaks of 

 it as found in Ireland, but does not refer to it as a Scottish 

 species. The name in Welsh is Ceiliog coed, an equivalent 

 of Cock of the Wood.
