GAME BIRDS OF INDIA AND ASIA. II9 



The bill is black, the eyelids, the skin of the 

 throat, where this shows through the feathers, 

 and the legs, are red, the latter varying much in 

 intensity of colour. 



This bird haunts the evergreen forests on the 

 eastern spurs of the Pegu hills, and also inhabits 

 the ranges east of the Sittang river as far as Tavoy, 

 as well as the Ruby Mines District. It has not 

 been often found, and so very little is known 

 about it. 



Fire-Necked Hill-Partridge. 



Arboricola ardens, Brit. Mus. Cat., Birds, Vol. XXII. 

 p. 210. 



Known only from the Hainan mountains, this species is at 

 once distinguished from the rest, of which it is most like the 

 white-cheeked, by the orange-red colour of its neck and breast ; 

 only one specimen is on record. 



Formosan Hill-Partridge. 



Arboricola crudigularis , Brit. Mus. Cat., Birds, Vol. 

 XXII, p. 211. 



This, a Formosan mountain-bird, is distinguished from its. 

 nearest ally, the white-cheeked Tree-Partridge, by having the 

 upper part of the throat all white and the back with bolder dark 

 markings. 



Sonnerat's Hill-Partridge. 



Arboricola gingica, Brit. Mus. Cat., Birds, Vol. XXII, 

 p. 213. 



Only a single specimen of this bird has ever been obtained 

 and that from an unknown locality more than 100 years ago ; 

 yet it is easily recognised, being distinguished by the peculiar 

 marking on the neck, a black triangle above a narrow white 

 band and a broad deep red one.
