Dear Mr. Leopold: 
 
     In reply to your letter of October 3 I have a little 
information for you to add to your records. 
 
     About a year ago Mr. A. D. Macomber, a local barber, 
aee    four Hungarian partridges about one mile north of 
New Lisbon. He did not report it immediately. Then last 
July a neighbor of mine upon whose farm some of these birds 
were planted several years ago, reported seeing a covey Of Huns 
 
 
about four miles north of New Lisbon. They were partly 'in 
the road and partly in some pine woods. This area was not 
particularly suited to them and I imagine they were migrating. 
They have not been seen since. However last Thursday after- 
noon a covev of about eighteen birds were seen in the road in 
 
 
front of my home. Friday afternoon I sent my dog out and #he 
succeeded in raising ten of them, and they were the real 
Huns. 
 
     This is all the inform pn I have for you at this tinie. 
There seems to be no questi pthat these birds are * 
Hungarian partridges, but I am unable to explain their absence 
for so long a period. 
 
                                 Sincerely yours
