 One specimen. I know few things more annoying and disagree- 

 able than to describe and characterize a new bird from a poor and 

 incomplete skin. This is exactly what I am doing now. Suner- 

 ficialiy seen from above, this Francolin is no other than a small i^ 

 ptleatus. By a more accurate inspection it is not difficult to discover 

 several important discrepancies. The arrow-shaped black spots of 

 the upper tail-coverts would alone suffice to characterize this bird as 

 distinct from F pileatus. But the whole under parts, which are 

 very defective and mutilated in our specimen, appear to be differently 

 coloured, i&c. Besides it is altogether a smaller bird.
