 ful Partridge, Lath.

Genus Coturnix. 



119. Coturnix dactylisonans, Meyer. Common Quail, Lath. 



This bird is named Ghagul ; it corresponds with the European spe- 

 cies, and is not very common in India. 



120. Coturnix Cor omandelica. Perdix Coromandelica, Lath. Perdix 



textilis, Temm. Caille nattee, Temm. 

 This is the most common Quail of India called Bhuteir. Dr. Bucha- 

 nan named it Perdix olivacea. 



Genus Hemipodius.

Mottled Quail, Lath. 



Fam. Struthionid^. 

 Genus Otis. 



122. Otis Indica, Ind. Orn. } White-chinned Bustard, Lath. ? 



This bird has usually been considered as the female of the Otis 

 aurita, and has been so figured and described ; but it is well 

 known to be a distinct bird. It is the common Leek of India, 

 called by the English Bastard Florican. I am not quite certain 

 that Dr. Latham's White-chinned Bustard is the bird, but his 

 description is so near, that I have not thought it proper to make 

 new species.

Purple Heron, Lath. 



126. Ardea speciosa, Horsf. Darter Heron, Lath. 



This bird is without doubt the Darter Heron of Dr. Latham ; and 

 the Ardea speciosa of Dr. Horsfield is, I think, merely the Ja- 

 vanese type of the same bird.
