Genus— AM MOPE RDIX. 
The genus Ammoperdix contains two species of small partridges 
which are found from Egypt to South Arabia, A. heyi and its races, 
and through Persia, Mesopotamia, Afghanistan and Baluchistan to 
N. W. India, A. griseogularis and its sub-species. 
The tail is short, measuring about half the length of the wing, and 
consists of 12 tail feathers ; the wing is rounded, tho third or fourth 
primary the longest, and the first, second, fifth and sixth a little shorter 
and graduated ; the legs are strong and the tarsus fairly long. There 
are no spurs, but a few males show a small knob or incipient spur ; 
the biU has a very distinct cere, rather brighter in colour than the 
rest of the bill. 
The Indian bird A. griseogularis griseogularis is replaced in Arabis- 
tan and ? Mesopotamia by an allied form A. griseogularis fermeulin, 
Zarudny.
