The Cajpercalzie. 
323 
Like the Capercalzie, or Cock of the Woods, a larger 
species of this genus, these birds are common in Russia, 
Siberia, and other northern countries, chiefly in wooded 
and mountainous situations ; and in the northern parts 
of our own island on uncultivated moors. 
THE CAPERCALZIE, (Tetrao urogallus,) 
Was also formerly an inhabitant of the forests of Scot- 
land, but has been extinct in Britain for many years. 
The male is as large as a good-sized turkey, the female 
considerably smaller. Several attempts have been made 
to rear the Capercalzie, and domesticate it in this coun- 
Iry, but without effect. They are now most numerous in 
Sweden, where they are much esteemed as food. Of 
late years they have been brought to the English market, 
and are considered very good eating.
