 All these pigeons and doves are ubiquitous. 

 1317. (113). Pterocles fasciatus. Painted Sand Grouse. 



Chapka. 

 The vernacular name is the same as for the Nightjar with which the 

 natives apparently confuse this bird. 



1321. (114). PxBBOOLURUS ExusTus. Common Sand-grouse. 



Bhat titar. 

 1324. (115). Pavo cristatus. Common Pea-fowl. 



Mor. 

 1350. (116). Galloperdix itjnxilata. Painted Spur-fowl. 



Jangli viurghi. 

 I have never seen the Red Spur-fowl {Galloperdix spadicea) in Saugor, and 

 do not think he exists here. 



1356. (117). CoTURNix OOROMANDELICA. Black breasted or Rain-quail. 



Bater. 



1357. (118). Perdioula asiatica. Jungle Bush-quail. 



Chota Bater. 



1358. (119). Perdictjla argunda. Rock Bush-quail. 



There are other points of distinction but for the ordinary person the main 

 distinction between these two Bush-qiiails lies, as Hume points out, in the 

 chin. 



" It is difficult to represent colours accurately in words, but bright 

 chestnut (the Jungle Bush-quail) and dull rufous, slightly suffused in many 

 specimens with a grey shade (the Rock Bush-quail) are so different that 

 the colouration of the chin and throat ought alone to sufhce to distinguish 

 adults, at any rate, of the two species." 



1373. (120). Francolinus pictus. Painted partridge.

In the Saugor Gazetteer Colonel Sutherland, I.M.S., mentions the Black 

 Partridge (Francolimis vulgaris) as one of the Saugor birds. He tells 

 me that he has undoubtedly seen this species in Saugor, but it was some 

 years ago. I myself have never seen it, though constantly on the look-out, 

 more especially when in camp on our North border, for the Black Partridge 

 is certainly found in Jhansi. Mr. Thornhill however shot a Black Partridge 

 cock by the Garoula Tank in November 1909, and the identification being 

 beyond doubt, the Black Partridge may perhaps still be included among 

 the Saugor resident species, though it is certainly extremely rare.
