This magnificent species— the largest of all the members of this family — -is a native of the Old World; and, on account of its size and 
splendid appearance, has been well called the King of the Game-Birds. It is found in considerable numbers in Prussia, Austria, Switzer- 
land, Norway, Sweden, and Eussia as far north as Siberia ; and at one time wms quite plentiful hi Scotland, where, however, at the pres- 
ent day, it has become very rare — indeed, in most parts extinct. Eepeatecl efforts have been made, by the owners of large estates, to 
reintroduce it, by importing the birds from Norway ; but it is very doubtful if the Cock-of-the-4Yoods will over again become abundant 
in its former island-home. 
It remains always in the vicinity of the pine and fir trees, upon the leaves of which it feeds, and loves to stay in the depths of the 
lonely forests, where, amid the dense undergrowth, it is concealed from every eye. 
The flight of the Capercailzie is rather heavy, and the rapid beating of its wings produces a sound which may be heard for a consid- 
erable distance. Y^hen upon the ground — -where, during the summer, it passes much of its time — ^it carries its tail drooping, and its head 
well forward, presenting rather a dull appearance. 
This species, like many others of this family, is polygamous, and the male deserts the females wEen incubation commences ; the young 
remaining with the hen generally throughout the winter. 
In the spring the cock is accustomed to utter his call-note from the branch of some tree where he has passed the night. His mau- 
nei s at this time are very ecceuti’ic and peculiar ; and the following account, taken from Boner’s “ Forest Creatures,” gives a very vivid 
description of the way in which the male is accustomed to summon the hens into his presence :
