GALLOWAY AND WIGTON.

 1 Scot. Nat.; vol. i. p. 44). Probably a strayed bird from the 

 Glenapp introduction in Ayrshire, or the Sanquhar intro- 

 duction in Dumfries. (See also K. Gray " On the present 

 distribution of the Capercaillie in Scotland ;" ' Proc. Nat. Hist.

LANARK. 



In 1868 a fine male was shot by Henry Lees, Esq., at 

 Auchengray, near Airdrie. Probably wandered from some 

 locality where attempts' at introduction had been made. ( Vide 

 E. Gray, op. cit.) 



KIRCUDBRIGHT. 



1869. In November 1869 a female was killed at Auchen-

DUMFRIES. 



Mr. Lindsay, the Duke of Buccleuch's gamekeeper at 

 Sanquhar, tried to introduce them, but failed. (Auct. R
