pt. 1, 1920, pp. 13-15.] 
The nomenclature of the Indian Red Jungle-Fowl has 
been discussed lately by several writers. Messrs. Robinson 
and Kloss consider that the correct specific name is Gallus 
ferrugineus (Gmel.), founded on Sonnerat’s bird, probably 
from the Philippine Islands, as he visited no area in India 
proper where he could have procured the Red Jungle-Fowl, 
and that the typical subspecies G. f. ferrugineus is the 
Malayan bird also occurring in Burma and Flainan. To 
the Javan race, which is distinguished by the dark colour 
of the hackles, the authors assign the name G.f. bankiva 
Temm., while the bird of India proper has to receive a 
new name. For this form Gallus ferrugineus murghi is 
proposed, the subspecific name being apparently derived 
from the common Hindustani word for a chicken, familiar 
to every Anglo-Indian,
