lumba cristata, Gm. and Lath.; Phasianus cristatus, Sparm., Mus. 
Carls. III, 64. Green; somewhat larger than a Quail. ‘The fe- 
male, which merely has a vestige of a tuft, is the Z'etrao viridis, 
Lath., Syn. II, pl. 67*. 
Tetrao, Lin. 
The Grous also is a great genus, characterized by a naked aud most 
generally red band, which occupies the place of the eye-brow. It is di- 
vided into subgenera as follows :— 
Tetrao, Lath. 
The feet of Grous are covered with feathers, and are without spurs. 
Those to which this name is more particularly applied have a round or 
forked tail and naked toes. There are two large species of them in 
France. 
T. urogallus, L.; Grand Coq de Bruyéres; Enl. 73 and 74. 
(The Great Heath-Cock, or Cock of the Woods, or Caper-Cailzie). 
The largest of all the Gallinacee, and superior in size to the Turkey. 
Its plumage is slate-coloured, transversely and finely striped with 
black; the female is fawn-coloured, the cross lines brown or blackish. 
Found in the heart of mountain forests, builds among the heath- 
grass, or in newly cleared grounds, and feeds on berries and buds. 
Its trachea makes two curves before it dips into the lungs. The 
flesh is delicious. 
T. tetrix, L.; Coq de Bouleau; Enl. 172 and 178; Frisch. 109; 
Naum. Ist Ed., 18, f. 37 and 38. (The Black Cock). The male 
is more or less black, with some white on the coverts of the wings 
and under the tail, the two forks of which diverge laterally. The 
female is fawn-coloured, with black and white stripes crossing it. 
Their size is that of the Cock, and they are found in mountain 
forests. 
An intermediate species appears to exist in the north of Europe, 
—T*. intermedius, Langsdorf, Mém. de Petersb., tom. III, pl. xiv; 
Sparm. M. Carls., pl. xv, which is larger than the preceding, with 
the tail less forked, and the breast spotted with white. Found in 
the marshy districts of Courland, Ingria, &c.+ 
In the woods of temperate Europe we find, 
T. bonasia, L.; La Gelinoite; Poule des Coudriers{; Enl. 474 
and 475; Frisch. 112; Naum. 20, f. 39, (the Hazel Grous), 
* The Columba cristata, B., Gm., Lath., Syn. II, pl. lviii, appears closely allied to 
it; but the figure represents it as having a large nail to the thumb. ‘This is perhaps 
an error, as in the Galer. Vieill., tom. IT, pl. ccx. 
+ It appears to be at once the Tétras a plumage variable, and the Tétras a@ queue 
pleine, of Buffon.
