Grayliound ; it is ex<tremel v shy, and unless by surprise, it is 
almost impossible to get within gun-shot of it ; while run- 
ning the wings are extended slightly from the body, and are 
kept in continual motion ; on being first roused they go ofF 
at a moderate pace, and often turn round to look at their 
pursuer ; if the party does not appear to notice them they 
do not run to any great distance, only sufficiently far to be 
out of danger, but the instant they find they are pursued 
they use their utmost speed, and have been known to run 
more than five miles without the slightest pause. 
This species is dispersed over the Southern parts of 
Europe, and the more temperate parts of Africa, and is 
very abundant in some parts of Spain and Portugal.
