These examples in no respect differ from Malaccan and Javan individuals and others from 

 the island of Madura. Neither by their dimensions nor colouring can the sexes be distinguished.

Mr. Everett has sent six specimens of a species of Turnix which agree well with Temminck's

 others of so-called yE. curonica (Gm.) and jE. tnimita (Pall.), apud Jerd., from Europe and 

 Asia {conf. Walden, Tr. Z. S. viii. p. 89), leaves me no other conclusion than that they all belong
