To these miglit be added the Capercaillie, which became extinct in 

 Ireland in the last century, and the Grey Lag Goose, if that were the 

 goose mentioned by Rutty and Harris (see Thompson, Nat. Hist, of 

 Ireland., vol. iii. p. 30). 



The breeding of the Marsh Titmouse {Farm palustris, L.) in Ire- 

 land rests on the identification of a female and three young ones shot 

 near Donnybrook by Dr. Kinahan {Nat. Hist. Review, vol. ii. ; Pro- 

 ceedings, p. 24), but we have not as yet obtained proof of its breeding 

 at the present day in Ireland, nor has the bird itself been obtained for 

 many years past.
