Mr. R. B. Horsfall reports that on June 9th. a brood 

 of three young Hungarian partridges were seen on the Reed 

 College campus in the City of Portland. The birds were 

 two or three weeks old and flew a distance of about a 

 hundred yards, showing the red tail spread wide. 



Mr. George Russell of Gaston also reports seeing a covey 

 of young partridges in that locality. Other reports have come 

 in, showing that without doubt the birds liberated last spring 

 are thriving in their new Oregon home. 



The first shipment of ninety-seven partridges was im- 

 ported into Oregon in 1900 and liberated in the Willamette 

 Valley. Some of these were released in Marion County east 

 of Salem, and these birds have held their own, although they 

 have not increased remarkably in number. In the early part 

 of 1913, two hundred and eighteen Hungarian or European 

 partridges were purchased and liberated on the different 

 game refuges in Oregon. During the past year, fifteen 

 hundred and twenty-two of these partridges were liberated 



as follows :
