304 PARTRIDGE. 



41.— LAUWAU PARTRIDGE. 



SIZE of our Common Quail. Bill lead-colour ; plumage above 

 brown, mottled with buff, and a few obscure streaks ; beneath dull 

 ferruginous ; above the eye a pale broad streak, and beneath it a 

 second of the same ; legs yellowish, smooth, without a spur behind. 



Inhabits India ; called Lauwau. — Sir J. Anstruther. 



42— EYEBROW PARTRIDGE. 



BILL pale brown ; plumage above rufous brown, with a few 

 pale streaks, and the margins of the feathers pale ; beneath, as far 

 as the breast, pale dull rufous ; the sides of the head nearly white ; 

 above the eye a long trace of black, like an eyebrow, and behind it 

 a shorter one of the same ; belly, thighs, and vent dusky white ; the 

 first marked with narrow, dusky streaks ; legs pale brown. 



Inhabits India. 



43 —WHITE-CHEEKED PARTRIDGE. 



SIZE uncertain. General colour of the plumage rufous brown, 

 the feathers margined with a darker colour ; the bill and legs dusky 

 blue ; round the eyes a dirty white space, extending forwards to the 

 nostrils, and lengthening behind, growing narrower towards the 

 nape, near which it ends in a point, giving the bird a pleasing 

 appearance ; the quills and tail a trifle darker than the rest of the 

 plumage, the former crossed with dusky bars ; legs longish, with no 

 appearance of a spur. 



I met with this among some drawings, without other history, than 

 that it was supposed to be a native of South America.
