GREEK PARTRIDGE. 247 



less shaded with pink above, and arc pencilled and 

 spotted irregularly with brown and whitish. 



In some varieties the white is less pure, or even 

 fawn-coloured. 



My figures of this bird and its egg are from specimens 

 kindly sent me by Mr. Tristram. The male bird with 

 white throat, the typical P. Grceca, is from the Morea. 

 The female bird with the rufous throat, which I have 

 figured for comparison, is from Crete. It is the bird 

 alluded to before. 



The bird has also been figured by Brisson, Ornith., 

 pi. 23, f. 1; Buffon, pi. enl. 231; Roux, Ornith. Prov., 

 pi. 259; Naumann, pi. 164; Bouteil, Ornith. du Dauph., 

 pi. 42, fig. 2; Gonld, B. of E.; Temminck, Atlas du 

 Manuel; Vieillot, Faun. Franc, pi. 109; Bonaparte, 

 Fauna Ital.
