In view of the fact that many of the names of the birds 
in the Schedule of the Wild Birds Protection Act, 1880, 
(which is quoted in the local circular (see p. xc (c)), 
are somewhat obscure, it may here be useful to give a 
translation of them : — 
American Quail 
Bonxie 
Colin 
Cornish Chough 
The Virginian Quail. 
The Great Skua. 
The Virginian Quail. 
The Chough.
