the Red Jungle-Fowl is met with in both 

 these localities. Following the range 

 farther south we are informed by the 

 same authors that this species occurs 

 near Pachmarhi. The next point is 

 Raipur in the Central Provinces, whence 

 there are several skins of this species in 

 the British Museum. South of Raipur 

 there are numerous localities from which 

 this Jungle-Fowl has been recorded, and 

 the line of western limit would appear to 

 run from Raipur to the junction of the 

 Godaveri and Indrawati rivers, and thence 

 along the former river to the coast. 



East of the line thus roughly indicated, 

 and south of the Himalayas from Chamba 

 to the extreme eastern portion of Assam, 

 and thence down to the extreme southern 

 point of Tenasserim, the Red Jungle-Fowl 

 would appear to be found in all suitable 

 localities. It occurs up to an elevation 

 of about 5000 feet. 



To the east this species extends through 

 the Shan States to Siam, Cochin China
