An intermediate species appears {to exist in the north of 
Europe,—7. intermedius, Langsdorf, Mém. de Petersb., tom. 
III, pl. xiv; Sparm. M. Carls., pl. xy, which is larger than the 
preceding, with the tail less forked, and the, breast spotted 
with white. Found inthe marshy districts of Coase Ingria, 
&c.(1) 
In the?woods offtemperate Europe we find, 
T. bonasia, L.; La Gelinotte; Poule des Coudriers;(2) Enl. 
474 and 4753 Frisch. 112; Naum., 20, f. 39. (The Hazel 
Grous,) Which is buta little larger than the Partridge, and is 
prettily variegated with brown and white, grey and red; alarge 
black band near the tip of the tail; throat of the male black, 
and his head slightly tufted.(3) a 
America produces some neighbouring speciés, such as 
Tet. canadensis and canace, I..; Gelinotte noire d’ Amer., Enl. 
131 and 13%; Edw. 118 and 71, Brown, verging more or less 
on a black; tip of thevtail red. 
In some, the feathers on each side of the neck Ts e males’ 
are turned up like a mantlet, or two scrolls: their habits have an" 
affinity with those of the Turkey. Such are, . . 
Tetr. umbellus and togatus, Gm.; Cog. de Bruy. a Gian Enl. 
104; Edw. 248; Wils. pl. xlix; called Partridge in Ne England, « ‘ 
and Pheasant in Pennsylvania. Variegated with ngttwien and, 
black; a large black spot at the bottom of the neck, on each ~ 
side; a black band edged with white on the tip of the tail; lower 
part of the tarsi naked. Found in the mountain forests; the 
voice of the male in the nuptial season resembles the roll of a 
drum. 
Tetr. cupido, Gm., Catesb. Suppl. 1; Wils, pl. xxvii; Vieill. 
Galer. 219.£(The Pinnated Grous.) Variegated ‘with brown and 
fawn colour; tail brown; tarsi feathered down to the toes; the 
feathers on the bottom of the male’s neck turn up into two | 
pointed scrolls, beneath which is a naked skin, which, in the 
(1) It appears to be at once the T¥tras é phiinoge variable, and the — a 
queue pleine, of Buffon. 
(2) Bonasi4, or Bonasa, name of the Gelinotte i in Albertus Magnus and other 
authors of the middle ages. 
(3) The Attagas of Buff., Attagen of Aldrov., Ornith., II, p. 75; Gelinotte huppée,, 
Briss., appears to me after much research, even in Italy, to be nothing more than a 
young or female Gelinotte. 1t is the same individual painted by Frisch, pl. 
exii.. The Tetrao canus, Gm. (Sparm. Mus. Carls., p..16) is only an albino variety 
of the Gelinotte. Neither have I any confidence in the authenticity of the’ Tetr. 
: nemessianus, nor in that of the T'etr. betulinus of Scopoli. They are females, or. 
the young of the Tetr. tetrix, or disfigured cape
