" This species is only found in thick jungle. I have seen it in the 
bamboo jungles of the Wynaad, near Manantoddy, and along the 
edges of the AYestern Ghauts, and once at Coonoor, on the edge of 
the Neilgherry Hills. It has similar habits to the others, feeding on 
the ground, and on being disturbed retreating to the thick clumps 
of bamboos, through which they make their way with much adroit- 
ness, chattering all the while, and generally contrive to conceal them- 
selves from view. Their note is similar in character, though quite 
distinct from any of its congeners." — (Jerd., Madr. Journ. L. S.

" The GkogTioye has a peculiar distribution. In the south of India 
it is only found on the elevated table-lands ; I have observed it on 
the Neilgherries near Coonoor and Kotagherry, in low bushy ground, 
and seen specimens from the Shevaroy Hills near Salem. It is not 
found in the Carnatic, Northern Circars, nor in the more southern 
parts of the Deccan, but towards the north begins to occur more 
frequently, and at Jaulnah is very common. It frequents topes in 
the neighbourhood of villages and cultivation, also occasionally low 
and open jungle. Lives in small troops, feeding chiefly on the 
ground, especially around the trunks of large trees. It keeps up a
