“Male, iris dark hazel, bill blackish, yellowish ereen at tip of 
lower mandible, reddish at base, orbital skin reddish orange, tarsi 
and claws waxy yellow.” 
ROLLULUS ROULROUL. 
Rollulus roulroul (Scop.) ; Ogilvie Grant, tom. cit., p. 225. 
Several crested wood quail, which is the commonest game-bird 
in the jungles of the Malay Peninsula, were shot on Kao Nawng but 
were consigned to the pot as they were in very poor feather. 
2, CALOPERDIX OCULEA. 
Caloperdiz oculea (Temm.); Ogilvie Grant, tom. cit., p. 222; 
Robinson and Kloss, Ibis, 1910, p. 671; Robinson, Journ. Fed. 
Malay States Mus., v., p. 15 (1918). 
Evidently very common in Bandon, though we did not ourselves 
procure specimens. Caged birds were frequently seen in the possession 
of the local Siamese and a male, recently caught, was purchased 
at Ban Kok Klap. 
GALLUS GALLUS. 
Gallus gallus (Linn.) ; Grant, tom. cit., p. 344. 
Gallus bankiva, Robinson and Kloss, tom. cit., p. 673. 
Jungle fowl were very numerous in the vicinity of Ban Kok Klap 
and along the banks of the river, south of that place. No speciniens 
were however preserved. The hens of the local domestic fowl were 
almost indistinguishable from wild birds. 
3. ARGUSIANUS ARGUS. 
Argusianus argus (Linn.) ; Ogilvie Grant, tom. cit., p. 363. 
Very numerous on Kao Nawng and not so shy as in many other 
places though they are much trapped by Siamese as the skins command 
a good price among the Chinese on the coast. We had not the time 
to set snares and did not particularly desire specimens, but one female 
was obtained and one or two males approached and shot at by Seimund. 
Argus pheasants are poor eating being usually very thin and dry and 
are not to be compared with peafowl. 
4, PAVO MUTICUS. 
Pavo muticus, Linn.; Ogilvie Grant, tom. cit., p. 371; Robinson 
and Kloss, tom. cit., p. 672. 
Peafowl were fairly common round the edges of the rice fields at 
Ban Kok Klap, and two or three were shot for food but not preserved. 
They were in very poor feather, without trains, which in this district 
are not assumed until November or December.
