Gallus lafayettt Lesson 
sk of early dawn the Junglefowl begin to leave their roosts and make their way through 
ts of south Ceylon to open glades. Here they send forth their loud crow, chuck-George- 
re they battle with each other, armed with sharp spurs, and here they scratch vigorously for 

id grubs. ~ Sometimes a dozen birds can be heard crowing in various directions, but after sunrise 
| with the coming of heat the birds seek shelter under the dense foliage.
