 One specimen. I know few things more annoj'ing 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. Super- 

 ficially seen from above, this Francolin is no other than a small F. 

 pileatus. 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 diiferently 

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