In 1882 Mr. Lloyd took a nest with 13 eggs at San Angelo, Tex., 
April 26, and another, containing 6 eggs, May 13. In 1884 a nest with 
12 eggs was taken May 7. 
Two specimens were shot at Bonham, Tex., latitude 33° 34’, in De- 
cember, 1885, from a covey of about a dozen. The species had never 
been seen before in that vicinity. 
293a. Callipepla squamata castanogastris Brewst. [—]. Chestnut-bellied Scaled 
Partridge. 
This beautiful Quail inhabits eastern Mexico and the Lower Rio 
Grande valley insTexas. The eastern limit of its range is defined by 
the foothills of the Rio Grande, about 100 miles from the coast, below 
which it is a rare straggler (Sennett). 
295. Callipepla gambeli (Nuttall). [483.] Gambel’s Quail. 
An inhabitant of northwestern Mexico and contiguous portions of the 
United States; resident in western Texas. 
296. Cyrtonyx montezumez (Vig.). [485.] Massena Partridge; Massena Quail. 
This species is found from western Texas westward and southwest- 
ward. Mr. Henry recorded it as a rare resident at Mason, and Mr. 
Lloyd says it is resident in Tom Green county, 20 miles west of San 
Angelo. 
297. Dendragapus obscurus (Say). [471.] Dusky Grouse. 
A Rocky mountain species, recorded from the Black Hills. 
298. Dendragapus canadensis (Linn.). ([472.] Canada Grouse ; Spruce Partridge. 
Principally resident in British America, but in winter occurs as far 
south as Racine, Wis. In Minnesota it is resident from Minneap- 
olis northward, becoming quite common in the immense forests of the 
northeastern part of the State, and extending westward to the edge 
of the prairie at White Earth. 
300. Bonasa umbellus (Linn.). [473.] Ruffed Grouse. 
Resident over all the Mississippi Valley except the southwestern 
quarter. In Nebraska it has been seén in the southeastern portion 
only, and though formerly known as a resident in eastern Kansas, is 
not now known to occur in the State. It is still reported from Missouri, 
and is common in Iowa. It is very scarce in northwestern Arkansas 
and is said not to occur in Louisiana, as it certainly does not in Indian 
Territory and Texas. 
300a. Bonasa umbellus togata (Linn.). [—.] Canadian Ruffed Grouse. 
This sub-species is the form inhabiting the dense evergreen forests 
of northern Maine and the British Provinces. It occurs as far west as 
eastern Oregon and Washington Territory. Specimens collected by 
Mr. Ernest E. Thompson have been sent from Manitoba and Lake of 
the Woods to Mr. Ridgway, who pronounces them typical togata.
