compared to a Puyu. The Puyu is always seen in pain, never 

 in Hocks like the preceding. 



1 am at a loss to discover what species of Quail is intended by 

 the T. Suscitator, or Indian Quail of Bontius. The Pikan and 

 Puyu are the two generally known throughout the eastern islands. 

 The latter is the most frequently domesticated, and becomes as 

 tame as the common fowl. It is the one trained for fighting; 

 and they will often combat with such fury as to kill each other. 

 It is not however noisy, and in the wild state is only seen in pairs. 

 The Pikau, on the contrary, has a loud clear note, is seen in 

 flocks, will not become so tame as the other, and is not valued 

 for fiohtinjx. It would seem as if the manners of both these were 

 confounded in the account given of the T. Suscitator.
