COTURNIX COTURNIX View in CoL

A few bones that can be attributed to this species were found in the islands of Madeira (two ulnae and one tarsometatarsus) and Porto Santo (two humeri and one carpometacarpus), in the same sites where the bones of the endemic extinct quails were collected. All the traits that can be measured (1–10, 18 and 20–22) are within the range of variation of C. coturnix .
