Text Appearing Before Image:
and the female bird, from which he expected somuch, is found dead or dying, her head scalped, her eyespicked out, or some other equally serious injury inflicted. Ihave found some species more inclined to this cruel practicethan others, the worst, according to my experience, being P,scemmerringii.^^ Eggs.—Pale greenish-white ; rather long ovals ; shell smoothand fine. Average measurements, 1*8 by 1-35 inch. VAR. a. PHASIANUS SCINTILLANS. Phasianus (Grapliophasianus) scintillaus^ Gould, Ann. Mag. N. H. (3) xvii. p. 150 (1866); id. B.

Mus. xxii. p. 337 (1893).By many authors this form of the Scemmerrings Pheasantis regarded as a distinct species; but it can only be recognisedas a well-marked variety, for it not only occurs in the sameislands where P. sKmmerrwgii is found, but every intermediatestage of plumage between the two forms may be seen.

PHEASANTS. 37 The most typical male examples have most of the feathersof the wing-coverts, back, and especially those of the rump,margined on each side with a ivhite black-edged ba7id, insteadof with fiery gold ; while the lighter parts of the middle tailfeathers below the black cross-bars are usually paler, and oftenstrongly dotted with black. Among the females no difference can be observed which isnot merely individual or due to age. III. Croivn of the head white. XVIII. REEVESS PHEASANT. PHASIANUS REEVESII. Phasiamis reevesii, J. E.
