THE OOLOGIST. 



COTUENIX COMMUNIS IN AmEKICA. The 



experinieut of inti-oflueing the Eui'opean 

 Quail into the United States, promises from 

 present appearances to be a great success. 

 Several pairs have been turned out in Ver- 

 mont and Massachusetts by well known 

 sporting gentlemen. On being let loose, 

 they immediately paired, and thus far sev- 

 eral nests and young have been "found, which 

 points favorably to the probable acclimati- 

 zation of the species. The European Quail 

 is somewhat smaller than our common Vir- 

 ginia Partridge ( Ortyx vir(/!nl(i)Of^)^ and 

 is considered of high quality as a game 

 bird. Unlike its American congener, it is 

 a migratory species, and whether it will 

 obey its natural instinct of passage, is a 

 question jipon which much of the success 

 of the trial depends.
