Dear Mr Plant,

I am in receipt of your letter dated 13-2-75. Ceylon has a Species of Jungle Fowl - Gallus lafayettei - and I am glad that I can help you by furnishing you with some information on our species of jungle fowl. Enclosed herewith are two descriptions of the Ceylon jungle fowl, taken from two books written about the birds of Ceylon.

Yours sincerely,

for  Director of the National Museums
