THE HAZEL ^GROUSE 



{Tetrao Bonasid) 



1\ /T Y recollections of this beautiful, if, 

 perhaps, not v^ery sporting, bird, 

 have been recalled by a paragraph in the 

 Shooting Tifnes, for January 2, 1897, in 

 which the paragraphist wonders why " this 

 excellent crame bird, which belonos to the 

 grouse tribe, should never have been intro- 

 duced into Scotland, when the conditions 

 of climate and terrestrial surroundinos differ 

 but slightly from those of Scandinavia."
