110 Mr. 11. B. Sharpe on the 



283. Arborophila charltoni (Eyton). 



a. ? ad. Benkoka, Sept. 3, 1885. 



b. 6 ad. Benkoka, Oct. 12, 1885. 



This species was first obtained in Borneo by Mr. W. H. 

 Pryer, who procured it near Sandakan, but by some over- 

 sight it was not included by me in my description of his 

 collection (P. Z. S. 1881, p. 790). 



[Apparently a very local species. I found this forest 

 Partridge fairly common on the Benkoka River, and no- 

 where else. It frequents the ground in true forest. 



Native name " Lenticong/' 



Iris brown ; bill black ; feet dull yellowish green.]

 a, b. c? ? ad. Labuan, July 15, 1885. 



c. ? ad. Ki'na Balu, Feb. 1888. 



[Common in open plains, and found on Kina Balu up to 

 1000 feet. These birds nest in the " Liang "-grass plains, 

 and lay five or six dark olive-green eggs, which are speckled 

 all over with black and dark-brown spots; axis 1, diam. -85. 

 I found a nest in the middle of February, and have seen them 

 in other months. 



Feet orange-yellow ; iris lake-brown; bill black.]
