ROOSTING CLIFF AND HAUNTS OF THE JAVAN JUNGLEFOWL 



Jagged ridges of weather-worn coral and stony fields covered with a scanty growth of grass ; spiny 

 cacti sprouting everywhere, and an occasional palm or bunch of feathery bamboo — such is the home of 

 the Javan Junglefowl along the coast. In one place I found a number roosting in a limestone cavern 

 beneath the level of the ground. The birds make their way to the more fertile spots near the creeks and 

 search for insects along the rice-fields and crops of ground pea.
