This bird is the Mahooka of India, so named from its note ; it is 

 called also, by the English, Pheasant Crow. Dr. Latham's 

 chestnut Coucal very accurately describes it, but his figure is 

 bad ; having apparently been taken from a drawing of Gen. 

 Hardwicke's, which stated it to be a young bird. Dr. Buchanan 

 named it Cuculus castaneus.
