Francolinus PICTU8, Jard. & Selby. (Hume's Oat., No. 819.) 

 Found sparingly along the extreme east of tlio district from Halyal 

 to i^iddapur, but I do not think thoy occur in any |)lace more than ten 

 miles from the border. 



Ortygornis pondicerianus, Gm. (Hume's Cat., No. 822.) 

 A rare bird in Kanara. There are a few in the neighbourhood of 

 Ankola on the coast extending some five or six miles north of it, and 

 I once saw a single specimen at Sirsi. 



Perdicula asiatica, Lath. (Hume's Cat., No. 826.) 

 I have shot this quail in the forests east of Halyal, and I have seen 

 what was either this or the next species at Bhutkul. Bush quail are, 

 however, very scarce in Kanara. 



Microperdix erythrorhynchus, Rykes (Hume's Cat., No. 828.) 

 This quail I have only found in the neighbourhood of Bunwasi, in 

 the east of Sirsi. I obtained eggs from there taken in September. 

 GoTURNix COMMUNIS, Bomi. (Hume's Cat., No. 829.) 

 This quail visits Kanara in the cold weather, and a few may be 

 obtained along the whole east portion from Halyal to Siddapur. 

 Below Ghats it is rare. I have seen it once or twice at Karwar, 

 Kumta, Honawar, and both above and below the Malemane 

 Ghat. 



CoTURNix COROMANDELICA, Gm. (Hume's Cat., No. 830.) 

 This quail is abundant at Halyal, where it breeds in September. I 

 have also obtained it occasionally in the east of the district as far south 

 as Siddapur. I once saw it below the Ghats at Kumta on the 10th 

 February, 1889. 



TuRNix TAiGOOR, Sykes. (Hume's Cat., No. 832.) 

 A permanent resident, being occasionally seen and often heard at 

 Karwar during the rains. I have noticed it all over the district in 

 , he cold weather. I have several times obtained eggs at Hal3'al. 

 TuRNix JOUDERA, Hodgs. (Hume's Cat., No. 834.) 

 Seen once or twice in thick patches of high grass among the forests 

 in Supa and Halyal in April and May. 



TuRNix DTissuMiERi, Tcm. (HuHie's Cat., No. 83/).) 

 Obtained once at Halyal in April. 



Sypiieotides aurita, Lath. (Hume's Cat., No. 839.)
