Nothing is known of the habits of this rare bird, which, so far

XV. THE SUMATRAN TREE-PARTRIDGE. ARBORICOLA 

 SUMATRANA. 



Arborophila swnatrana^ Ogilvie-Grant, Ann. Mag. N. H. (6), 



viii. p. 297 (1891). 

 Arboricola sui7iaira?ia^ Ogilvie-Grant, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xxii. 

 p. 219 (1893). 



Adult. — Differs from A. orientalis in having the crown and 

 upper-parts golden-brown, fringed and strongly barred with 

 black ; no white eyebrow-stripe ; and the flank-feathers with 

 broad regular three-fold ba?ids of blacky white and black at 

 the extremity. 



Range. — Mountains of Central Sumatra, at about 3,000 feet. 



The type-specimen has been in the Museum for many years, 

 but its origin is unknown. Dr. H. O. Forbes procured some 

 specimens during his travels in Sumatra, but no one else seems 

 to have met with the species.
