nest. They are white, and measure rather over 

 an inch in length. 



The Red-breasted Hill-Partridge. 



Arboricola mandelUi, Fauna Brit. Ind., 

 Birds, Vol. IV, p. 128. 



In this very easily recognisable species, the 

 head, neck, and breast are chestnut of various 

 shades ; the chin and throat being pale and uni- 

 form, separated from the darker breast by a white 

 band bordered below by black ; the sides and back 

 of the neck are spotted with black, and the eye- 

 brows are grey, meeting at the back of the head. 



Nothing is known about the colour of the bill, 

 feet, etc. ; indeed, the species is a rare and little- 

 studied one, which has only been obtained from 

 the low hills of Bhootan and Sikhim ; and once 

 from the northern part of the Goalpara district. 

 However, it is so distinct from all the rest that it 

 ought to be easily identified if met with. 



The Brown-bresisted Hill-Partridge. 



Arboncola brunneipectus, Fauna Biit. Ind., 

 Birds, Vol. IV, p. 128. 



Native name :— Appears to be called Toung- 

 kha, like A. intermedia. 



This is a very distinct form, with the face and 

 throat buff, the latter speclded with black, the 

 breast brownish buff, and flanks greyish buff, 

 with the usual white spots, but no chestnut ; 

 the white-spotted feathers are tipped with black.
