The Red-throated Hill-Partridge.

Arboricola rufogularis, Bl., Jerd. B. Ind. ii, p. 578; Hume, Cat. no. 825.

Little is known about the nidification of this species. To Mr. Mandelli I am indebted, however, for one of its eggs. He found a nest on the 4th July, at Pattabong, below Darjeeling, at an elevation of about 4000 feet, containing four fresh eggs. The nest is described as having been a heap of dry leaves placed on the ground. The egg is a broad oval in shape, pointed towards the small end; in colour a sullied white with a few very minute grey specks dotted about On it; the shed rather fine and smooth, but with very little perceptible gloss.   It measures 1.5 by 1.2.
