I have never seen a See-see obtained in the neighbourhood 

 of Aden, but the fact of one being found in the hills inland 

 is well established. Barnes has identified the species as 

 A. bonhami, but I think it just as likely to be yi. hetji.

Coturnix dactylisonans, Yerbury, Ibis, 1886, p. 20. 



Grey Quail visit the neighbourhood of Aden at times in 

 considerable numbers, and are often seen in Aden itself. 

 About Lahej the Arabs snare considerable numbers of Quail 

 of all sorts, which are brought into Aden for sale.

 (1893). 



Although I appear to have overlooked this species during 

 my former visits to Aden, I found it round Lahej in March 

 1895 as plentiful as the Grey Quail. I doubt its being a 

 true migrant. 



86. TuRNix LEPURANA (Smith); Barnes, Ibis, 1893, p. 168 ; 

 Ogilvie-Grant, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xxii. p. 539 (1893). 



Although I set myself the task of obtaining a specimen of 

 this species, I failed to do so. I flushed the bird frequently, 

 but never chanced to have a gun with me at the time. It 

 always struck me that the birds flushed looked, when on the 

 wing, more like Bush- than Button-Quail, and had I been 

 in India I should have put them down to be Perdicula 

 asiatica. An idea seems to exist that a Bustard-Quail is to 

 be found round Lahej, but I doubt there being any ground 

 for it.
