4. Francolinus coqui. 
Francolinus coqui (A. Smith) ; Reich. Yog. Afrikas, 
vol. i. p. 492; Grant, Cat. Birds B. M. xvii. p. 143 (1893).

1907. 
Bill—yellow base, black tip, brownish horn-colour over 
nostrils; feet orange-yellow ; iris light brown. 
I very rarely actually saw this bird, which seems rather 
shy. Its cry of “ Jessee ” many times repeated is, however, 
not infrequently heard in the woodland towards evening.

plateau species.
