COTURNIX SP. C

( FIGS 3, 5)

The Graciosa material consists of 31 bones (complete and fragmented), but owing to the scarcity and poor condition of the material of this quail, we refer to it as Coturnix sp. The long bone lengths are close to or fall inside the lower range of variation of C. coturnix ( Table 1). The sole premaxilla found is stouter than in C. coturnix ( Fig. 3).

Distribution: Graciosa Island, Azores archipelago, Portugal.
