— Tender tops of heath and species of Arbutus, berries, and grain. Nest. — A mere shallow cavity scratched ia the ground, lined with grasses, heather twigs, or any rubbish that may chance to fall in. Position of nest. — Usually in long heather. Number of eggs. — 7-8 ; if more, they are probably the product of more than one pair. Time of nidification. — III- VI. " The Eed Grouse, which has hitherto been met with only in the British Islands, breeds on most of the high, heathy moors of this countr...y, especially those in the north of England and the Highlands of Scotland. It is abundant also on most of the Western Islands, and is met with sparingly in Orkney, but has never been found in Shetland." — (Hewitson's Illust. Eggs Brit. Birds, vol. ii, p. 235.) The moors on which this species breeds are, however, strictly preserved, and therefore special permission must be obtained before one can collect upon them. Mr. Seebohm observes, " In an average year most nests will contain seven or eight eggs.
