is not met with in any other country. It has been turned out 

 in feveral parts of Surrey, Suffex, and Hampftiire, but we 

 believe hasjiot been known to breed. 



This fpecies always reforts to open tra£ts of country, and 

 does not frequent woods ; it feeds on the various kinds of 

 mountain and bog-berries, and on the tops of heath, which 

 (though we have examined many) we never found in the crop 

 otherwife than perfedly dry. It lays ten or twelve dufky 

 white eggs, fpotted with ruft colour ; the young run as foon 

 as excluded, and keep together till the enfuing fpring ; in the 

 winter feveral broods alTociate together, frequently to the 

 number of forty or fifty, when one bird conftantly is on 

 the watch ; they are at this feafon very fhy and difficult of 

 approach. 



During the winter, when the ground is covered with fnow,' 

 they generally perch on the walls, with which the cultivated 

 land in the north of England is enclofed. 



Provincial names Moorcock, Gorcock, and Red-Game.
