2 British Birds with their Nests and Eggs, 



ever, alight, except on the ground. The British species of Lagopus are the well- 

 known Ptarmigan, L. vnitus, which is confined to Scotland, and the bird which 

 is so well-known as the Grouse, L. scotiais, sometimes termed the Red Grouse to 

 distinguish it from the other species. This latter is remarkable as being the only 

 bird which is exclusive^ British, not occurring outside the British Islands, except 

 where it has been introduced into Sweden by Baron Dickson.
