	American Ptarmigan
		It is less than the Scotch Ptarmigan, and its wings are much shorter, and even more concave; and in these respects it corresponded with the other two specimens, which however had the plumage pure white, with the exception of the tail-feathers and the shafts of the primaries.
		The bill seems to be narrower than it generally is in the Rock Grouse, but the description and dimensions of this bird are scarcely different from those of an individual of that species in the same state of plumage.
		A specimen in the Museum of the Andersonian Institution, marked "Lagopus vulgaris, Ptarmigan, Melville's Island," is a male in winter plumage.

		As a result, only the British had interest in the Lagopus market, and only the British had the means to buy or sell the shares of the three meager companies that traded on the exchange.
		Additionally, they were to complain that people were no longer interested in drinking goat milk or in eating goat milk cheese, and that the youth of the island had become tea drinkers and barley ale quaffers.
		Another secret meeting with the goat farmers led to a goat milk and cheese products "mania." The natives of Melanerpes Von Picidae filled the streets, "demanding" more goat milk, crying for more goat cheese, much to the horror of investors who had delved deep into their bank accounts and were now trading mostly on margin.

	Coprinus lagopus ((NL: Hazepootje, 026.42.0))
		1 (1821) 312; Coprinus lagopus Fr., Epicrisis (1838) 250.
		Coprinus lagopus can be recognized by the terrestrial habitat, preferably to wood-chips or vegetable refuse, the dense, hairy fibrillose, whitish to silvery grey veil, the average spore length > 11 µm and average spore breadth > 6.7 µm, and the thin-walled veil with terminal elements up to c.
		Close to Coprinus lagopus and exclusively growing in lawns, an aberrant form has been collected, characterized by very fragile basidiocarps that develop during the evening and night and quickly disappear the next morning, leaving only laying, silvery white stipes with collapsed caps and having somewhat larger (12-15 µm long) and very dark spores (coll.

		This Rock Ptarmigan, Lagopus mutus, flew in and landed about 25 ' from me while I was hiking on Bird Ridge on May 26, 2002.
		Both species have white plummage in the winter and mottled brown or gray plummage in summer, but the rock ptarmigan tends to lose the winter plummage later than the willow.
		The ptarmigan genus is named Lagopus, "rabbit footed" for the furry feathers on its feet.

	Auk, The: Effect of pairing status on use of space by territorial Willow Ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus): Bachelor males ...
		To assess the importance of mate guarding in territoriality, we examined the spatial pattern of intrusions by male Willow Ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) on the territories of other males and we compared use of territorial space by paired and bachelor males.
		Because intruding males tended to remain near territorial boundaries of other males more than expected by chance, we expected paired males to avoid areas near boundaries, where the chances of the female encountering another male would be higher.

		The present study investigates the determinants of chick survival in willow ptarmigan Lagopus l.
		However, the present study extends these findings by suggesting a relationship between predation on one side and genetic constitution on the other, and that predation on nesting females, by reducing genetic variation among chicks at hatching, enhance chick mortality.
