 a few of these Quail. 



17. Dendragapus obscurus fuliginosus. Sooty Grouse. — Fairly 

 common and although in April and May seemingly restricted to and near 

 the semi-barren slopes at a considerable altitude on the mountain sides, 

 from which its peculiar hooting note could be heard almost any day; in 

 October it was found much lower and at times not far above lake level.
