The Chinese Crimson Tragopan. 



When our first volume was published, the occurrence of this

 particulars of this species, vide ante, Stray Feathers, Vol.

The Black-breasted Kalij. (Vol. I., pp. 197, et seq.) — 



u I notice you say that you have not information of the 

 Maihura Pheasant (Euplocamus horsfieldi) occurring in 

 Southern Chittagong. I can speak distinctly to this, as I 

 have seen and shot Mathuras on several occasions in Thanna 

 Chukurea, near Dooloohazara. 1 have also twice seen them 

 put up when beating for Jungle-Fowl in Thanna Puttea."

The Red Jungle-Fowl. (Vol. I., pp. 217, et seq.) — 



'• Jungle-Fowl, which the people call kura, afford very 

 fine sport here in Chittagong. The low hills which fringe 

 the bases of the various ranges are divided by numerous 

 narrow valleys, which have been now converted into long 

 winding strips of paddy cultivation, while the hills themselves 

 still remain clothed with scrub jungle and forest. The birds 

 attracted to the cover these more or less isolated hills afford, 

 by the rice in the intervening valleys, may be flushed, in great 

 numbers, by coolies beating through the scrub, and afford fine 

 shooting to sportsmen posted in the valleys, as the birds cross 

 these, seeking new cover in the next of these low hills. They 

 fly under these conditions very fast, and take hard hitting 

 to bring them down. "

The Grey Jungle-Fowl. (Vol. I., pp. 231, et seq.)— 



" Adverting to the remarks of Mr. Davidson in the " Game 

 Birds of India," and of Major Mclnroy in the " Addenda et 

 Corrigenda?' on the Grey Jungle- Fowl, as a bird for the table, 

 I beg to record my experience.
