Kyouk-nyat ; Pahpoon ; Thenganee Sakan ; Meetan. 



Confined to the forests and thin tree jungles of the plains 7 

 and low hills of the central and northern portions of the pro- 

 vince. 



[This species is most abundant in thin tree jungle, but is also 

 found in thick forest. It is usually met with in pairs, but 

 sometimes in small parties, gliding about on the ground amongst 

 the dense brushwood, and scratching among the dead leaves, 

 hunting for insects and seeds. Its note is a low soft double 

 whistle, which is chiefly heard in the morning and evening. 

 Without dogs they are very bard to procure, as they will not 

 rise, but ran only a short distance, and then squat close under 

 some cover : before a dog they arise at once, flying some dis- 

 tance and then dropping to the ground, not perching as the next 

 species does. Like all the other Arhoricolas these come down 

 about midday or a Httle earlier to some forest streamlet to 

 drink.— W. D.]
