PLATE XLII 



GREY JUNGLEFOWL 



Gallus sonnerati Temminck 



The Junglefowl of southern India range from the sea-shore to an akitude of five thousand feet. 

 Mated pairs appear to remain together throughout the year. At the breeding season the birds retreat to 

 distant parts of the jungle, but at other times they often feed openly in trails leading out of villages, 

 especially where cattle are pastured. The spots on the hackles of the cock are like drops of sealing-wax, 

 and unlike any character found in other Junglefowl.
