338 NOTES ON SOME BIRDS COLLECTED IN THE EASTERN OR 
vesumé of the dimensions of six specimens recorded in the 
flesh. 
Length, 11:25 to 12°8; expanse, 16°5 to 17°75; tail from 
vent, 5 to 5°8; wing, 5°6 to 5°75; tarsus, ‘95 to 1; bill from 
gape, ‘95 to 1:05. 
Irides, light or reddish brown, or salmon red; bill, dusky 
black; legs and feet, red. 
797.—Turtur humilis, Tem. 
This species was not abundant anywhere. It was generally 
met with in well-wooded districts; but occasionally in open 
ground in parties of four or five. A male and female measured 
respectively in the flesh :— 
Length, 9:5 to 9°23; expanse, 17°5 to 16:2; tail from vent, 
3°5 to 3:6; wing, 5:6 to 5; tarsus, *85 to ‘8; bill from 
gape, °85 to °8. 
Irides, brown ; bill, black; legs and feet, dusky purplish red. 
[These specimens belong to the Malayan, and not the Indian 
form. They are, what I described under the name of 7. 
humilior from the Andamans, butas I have already remarked 
in a recent paper on the birds of the Andamans, I think that 
Temminck’s name “ humilis” applies to this the Malayan, and 
not to the Indian form.—A. O. H.] 
812.—Gallus ferrugineus, Gmel. 
The Red Jungle-fowl was not uncommon in the wooded districts 
and evergreen forests in the vicinity of China-Ba-keer. I have 
frequently dislodged a family of them from some densely foli- 
aged shrub, to which they had resorted for shelter from the mid- 
day sun. A male shot at China-Ba-keer in December measured 
in the flesh :— 
Length, 26; expanse, 26°5; tail from vent, 138; wing, 9; 
tarsus, 3; spur, 1:25; bill from gape, 1:2. 
Trides, light red; comb wattles and lores, crimson; upper man 
dible, dusky black; lower mandible, dusky blacked, tipped paler ; 
legs and feet, slaty grey. 
843.—Glareola lactea, Tem. 
This bird-was rare. I have not seen more than three or four 
on the sands near Elephant Point. A male specimen measured 
in the flesh :— 
Length, 6°5; expanse, 16:2; tail from vent, 2°15; wing, 5:5; 
tarsus, °9 ; bill, °75. 
Trides, dark brown; bill, legs, and feet, black. 
844.—Squatarola helvetica, G'mel. 
I have only met with this species along the sandy portions, of 
the beach, between Elephant Point and China-Ba-keer where
