much whiter, but does not possess the fine flavour of the 
Common Partridge. 
We are indebted for our specimen (from the neighbour- 
hood of Saxmundham, Suffolk,) to the kindness of our 
friend, W. J. Hooker, D. L. D. the learned professor of 
Botany in the University of Glasgow. We have also re- 
ceived specimens from various parts of Norfolk; and it is 
also found in those parts of Essex bordering on Suffolk. 
The nest of this species was pointed out to us by a gentle-? 
man in the neighbourhood of Pakefield, Suffolk, in the 
spring of 1814, from which the female was with difficulty 
rouz ^d : it contained fourteen eggs ; and though the bird 
had been often disturbed she ultimately hatched twelve of 
the brood.
