153. Cyrtonyx massena ( Less .) Gould. Massena Quaie. 
— Although Mr. Stephens made repeated efforts to obtain speci- 
mens of this Quail, only one pair was met with during his extended 
wanderings. I extract the following from his notes relating to 
this occasion. “I was walking up a gulch at the foot of a steep 
peak, when a pair of Massena Partridges rose from the grass 
about ten feet ahead of me. The female went first, closely fol- 
lowed by the male, which I recognized by the black under tail- 
coverts. I was carrying my gun on my shoulder, and before I 
got ready to fire they had passed over the adjoining ridge and 
disappeared in a gulch beyond. Upon looking there I flushed 
the male, which rose within six feet of me, but missed him as he 
wound through the thick brush. Taking a few steps further 
the female flew and I managed to secure her. Their flight was 
very swift and each, as it rose, uttered a low whistling weeweewee. 
The locality was rocky, with thickly growing junipers and oaks, 
and sacaton grass beneath.” The bird is known in Arizona as 
the ‘'Fool Quail” or ‘‘Fool Hen.”
