Agghun, Hind., Jerdon. 
A. S. India. From the Asiatic Society of Bengal. 
" The AggJiun is very common in the Carnatic, and also in the 
Northern Circars, I believe; but is rarely met with on the great 
table-land of Southern India. It is frequently caught when young, 
and caged for its song, which is particularly fine and sweet ; it also 
imitates the notes of other birds." — (Jerdon.) 
" Also inhabits Bengal, and is a favourite cage-bird with the 
natives for its sweet and plaintive, but not much varied, song." — 
(Blyth.)
