 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

 and south of the Himalayas from Chamba 

 to the extreme eastern portion of Assam,

 point of Tenasserim, the Red Jungle-Fowl 

 would appear to be found in all suitable 

 localities. It occurs up to an elevation
