•Blyth says: "The three next are pigmy Partridges, and exhibit every character of the genus Perdix, 

 both as to form and habits; insomuch tliat I cannot recognise the genus Rubicola, Hodgson, proposed 

 for them in the 'I^engal Spjrting Magazine' for May, 1S37." The three species nro Colurniz argoondah 

 Sykes, C. pentah Sykcs, and C. erylhrorhyncha Sykos. Hodgson is said to have described Perdkula rubkota 

 1= Cotumix pentah Sykcs^ Perdix asiatica Latham) in the Bengal Sporting Magazine, 1837, p. 344, and 

 Blyth possibly suffered a lapse of memory in writing Rubicola for Perdicula, but 1 ha\o not verified the 

 reference. 



* Two species are included; C. livia (with three subspecies) and C. rupestris " Pallas." 

 » This is cited as the "most typical species."
