Bonasa umbellus togata. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1894. The little spaniel (Hadji) found and flushed two full- Sept.5 grown Partridges behind the camp. One of them "treed" in a balsam perching on a horizontal branch about fifteen feet above the ground where it stood for a long time perfectly motionless with neck outstretched in about this attitude . After the dog left the place the Partridge began moving its head and guiting and presently it flew off through the trees. Accord- ing to our men there are at least seven Partridges on the Point, one pair of old birds and five young about as large as Pigeons. I have not yet seen these young.
