Very plentiful above 4,000 feet. I got several nests containing four to 

 six eggs ; one nest I found which was deserted contained six partridge 

 eggs and two fowl's, which must have been domestic ones, as there are no 

 Jungle-fowl in those parts. The nest was situated within 300 yards of a 

 bungalow. 



Breeds during April and May. 



293. (1355a) Coturnix japonica, Temm.— (The Japanese Grey Quail.) 

 Major W. G. Nisbett of my Regiment shot a large quail while we were out, 



which was badly mauled by a dog beyond all hopes of making a specimen. He 

 says he has shot many in these parts and they are all japofiica. 



294. (1356) Coturnix cormandelica, (Gmel.) — (The Rain Quail.) 

 Recorded by Col. Rippon. 



* 295. (1364) Arboricola intermedia, Blyth. — (The Arrakan Hill- 



Partridge.) 

 Kachin name. — Wo-gam. 



We shot several when we were out. Some of my specimens have their 

 throat much blacker than those in tbe Museum. 



296. (1368) Tropicoperdix chloropds, Tickell. — (The Green-legged 



Hill-Partridge).
