Mr. D. G. Elliot has brought his f Monograph of the Tetrao- 
ninse 3 ( vide Ibis, 1865, pp. 228 & 345) to a conclusion by the {/ 
publication of its Fourth and Fifth Parts, which, besides seven 
plates of birds, contain two others representing thirty specimens 
of their eggs. These last are executed by Mr. William S. Morgan 
of Washington, and are in the highest degree successful. The 
following Table will serve to show in a rough way the distribu¬ 
tion of the different species of Grouse, as nearly as we can 
judge from our author’s labours ; and since it does not seem yet 
to be quite certain which slope of the Rocky Mountains Dendra- 
gapus richardsoni and Canace franklini most affect, we prefer 
leaving them, with the very beautiful and rare Lagopus leucurus , 
in the condition that we believe our American cousins call being 
“ on the fence.”
