8. hungarian Partridge. 
History of Plants. The plants shown on Map F. are a far from 
complete record. 
For the same reasons as cited for pheasants, it was impractic- 
able to collect official figures on the location or size of Hungarian 
plants. This deficiency is the greater in the case of Hungarians, by reason

of"the fact that the last published Bulletin (No. 10) does not mention
this 
species. 
Apparently the first big plant was at least 600 birds in 1915. 
Charlton thinks most of these were turned down near Columbus and drifted

northwest to form the present establishments there. A few, he says, were

scattered to other parts of the state. 
The big 1915 plant may have exceeded 600, because: 
(1) Stever of Defiance released 64 pair in the northwestern 
section that year. (Successful). 
(2) Gilmore released 60 pair in Perry County that year. (Jailed). 
(3) Swing recalls about 4 - 500 birds released in the Cincinnati 
region. About 1916 or 17. (Mostly failed). 
(4) Keller says the successful Zenia plants were made about 
1915 - 16. 
In any event, heavy plantings took place in the whole central 
and western parts of the state about 1915. 
Small plants must have been made in nearly all the counties 
including the hill types, either then or since, as most of the game 
protectors report on the species in 1927. (See Map D). 
Small plants have also continued intermittently in various 
regions up to 1928, as shown by Map F. Some eggs were tried near Cincin-

nati in 1922.                    - 28 -
