TETRAONIDZ. 
52. PrERNISTES CRANCHII (Leach). 
Perdix cranchii, Leach, App. Tuckey’s Voy. 
A single skin of what seems most likely to be the male of this 
scarce species, which is at present only known by the typical example 
in the British Museum. 
Native name, Quali, from its call. This bird is found in pairs, and 
breeding in covies from the coast up to Usui; and is abundant in 
many places. The throat is yellow ; naked space round the eyes 
bright red.— J. H. 8. 
53. FRANCOLINUS ? 
One example of a small Francolin, more like F. gutturalis of 
Riippell than any other known species, but probably distinct. I do 
not venture to describe the specimen, it being imperfect and not very 
decided in its characters. 
This Francolin is found in the forests all over Unyamuezi. I found. 
young birds on the 20th February, near Kazeh, in company with 
the mother.—J. H. 8.
