CHAPTEE XV. 



EXTENSION IN BOSS, ELGIN, AND COUNTIES OF 

 THE MORAY FIRTH. 



THERE is a vague idea that they existed about 100 years 

 ago in Koss-shire, but I can obtain no satisfactory statistics. 



I am not aware that any attempts at introduction have 

 been made in Koss-shire, but Captain Dunbar Brander, of 

 Pitgaveny, has informed the Eev. George Gordon that Lord 

 Fyffe had obtained eggs of the Capercaillie for Lochnabo a 

 wood between Elgin and Fochabers this last summer (1878), 

 but the results he had not learned.
