Fig. 3. — Series VII 
Height, 50 yds. — No. i. Superficial injury. No. 2. Superficial injury. No. 3. One pellet 
struck the head, but at 50 yds. perpendicular could not be expected to fracture the 
bone or stun the bird, though it is just possible it might do so. No. 4. Superficial 
injury. No. 5. Superficial injury. No. 6. Superficial injury. 
Summary. — Twenty pellets struck the birds, but only one 
of these (No. 3) might, very doubtfully, have caused injury 
sufficient to kill the bird.
