It is more probable that the females are excited, either before or after the conflict, by certain males, and thus unconsciously prefer them. I shall have to recur to this subject, but I may here add that with the Tetrao cupido of the United States, about a score of males assemble at a particular spot, and, strutting about, make the whole air resound with their extraordinary noises.
Blake, C.C., on the jaw from La Naulette. Blakiston, Captain, on the American snipe; on the dances of Tetrao phasianellus. Blasius, Dr., on the species of European birds. Bledius taurus, hornlike processes of male. Bleeding, tendency to profuse. Blenkiron, Mr., on sexual preference in horses. Blennies, crest developed on the head of male, during the breeding season.
The great English bustard throws himself into indescribably odd attitudes whilst courting the female, as has been figured by Wolf. Such females as happen to be near "obey this saltatory summons," and when they approach he trails his wings and spreads his tail like a turkey-cock. For Tetrao phasianellus, see Richardson, 'Fauna, Bor. America, p. 361, and for further particulars Capt.
They arrive here, and breed early in the spring sometimes, indeed, before the snow is off the hills get their young off in June, and with their young are most unmercifully, most unsportsmanly, thinned off, when they can hardly fly such is the error, as I think it, of the law but I could not convince my stanch friends, Philo, and J. Cypress, Jr., of the fact, when they bestirred themselves in favor of the progeny of their especial favorites, perdix virginiana and tetrao umbellus, and did defer the times for slaying them legitimately to such a period, that it is in fact next to impossible to kill the latter bird at all.

Kidney, one, doing double work in disease. King, W.R., on the vocal organs of Tetrao cupido; on the drumming of grouse; on the reindeer; on the attraction of male deer by the voice of the female.
Richard, M., on rudimentary muscles in man. Richardson, Sir J., on the pairing of Tetrao umbellus; on Tetrao urophasianus; on the drumming of grouse; on the dances of Tetrao phasianellus; on assemblages of grouse; on the battles of male deer; on the reindeer; on the horns of the musk-ox; on antlers of the reindeer with numerous points; on the moose; on the Scotch deerhound.
"I did give Lester credit for a little common sense and a little knowledge, but I declare he possesses neither. It beats the world how he has got things mixed. Just listen to this," added Don, consulting his note-book. "He speaks of a pheasant and calls it T. Scolopax. Now Scolopax is a snipe. He probably meant ruffed grouse, and should have called it Tetrao Umbellus.
Noctuidae, coloration of. Nomadic habits, unfavourable to human progress. Nordmann, A., on Tetrao urogalloides. Norfolk Island, half-breeds on. Norway, numerical proportion of male and female births in. Nose, resemblance of, in man and the apes; piercing and ornamentation of the; very flat, not admired in negroes; flattening of the.
The appearance of the dove-like grouse, Tetrao paradoxus, or Syrrhaptus Pallassi, in various parts of Europe, in 1850 and the following years, is a noticable exception to the law of regularity which seems to govern the movements and determine the habitat of birds.
Another North American grouse, the Tetrao umbellus, when with his tail erect, his ruffs displayed, "he shows off his finery to the females, who lie hid in the neighbourhood," drums by rapidly striking his wings together above his back, according to Mr. R. Haymond, and not, as Audubon thought, by striking them against his sides.
