GAME BIRDS OF INDIA AND ASIA. 97 



The breeding season is from April to June, and 

 as with the chukor, the eggs may be as many as 

 twelve in number, but they are creamy-white in 

 colour without any spots. 



Hey's Seesee. 



Ammoperdix heyi, Brit. Mus. Cat., Birds, Vol. XXII, 

 p. 125. 



Hardly more than a race of the Indian Seesee, this bird is dis- 

 tinguished by having no black band on the head, and some 

 chestnut on the cheek ; the hens are alike. The species inhabits 

 the countries bordering the Red Sea, and ranges to Palestine, 

 Egypt, and the Persian Gulf.
