. Fancy pheasants and their allies. Pheasants. Elliot's, CoppEtt, and Reeves's Pheasant.s. 25 coverts, the species is still not very abundant and rather dear. This is a pity, as it is a very beautiful bird, and pro- duces most nandsome hybrids with the ordinary breed, the cross much enhancing the beauty o: their lacing. In one case the Japanese birds were observed to keep true and remain in one locality, but how long this would last is doubtful. As a bird suited for both covert and aviary this species possesses double reooramendatioas, and hence is one of the best to keep, as it would be easy to dispose of eggs and surplus birds, at any rate till the variety becomes much commoner than it is at present. The same remark applies with even greater force to the magnificent Reeves's Pheasant, which I shall have occasion to treat of in the next chapter. CHAPTER VIII. ELLIOT'S, COPPER, AND REEVES'S PHEASANTS. These birds bear a close general resemblance in form and habits to the species last described, and are gene- rally classed by naturalists in the same genus. They differ, however, in some minor points, and especially in that the cocks have the saddle composed of ordinary firm rounded feathers. Tlie hens bear a general resemblance to those of the common Plieasant type, but are of a warmer brown, and have tails with' the outer pairs of feathers more or less cinnamon tipped with white. They are also sufficiently distinct Irom each other to be recognised without any special difficulty. The species are all hardy enough, but not so easy to .manage as some of the others. Elliot's Pheasant. {Phaaiamif! ellioti, ) The plumage of the male of this species is very pecu- liar and characteristic. The general hue is a very rich golden hay without lacing, but varied by a white belly and two white bars on the wing; The head and neck are whitish grey, with the throat black all the way down to the breast; the saddle is black laced with whit e, and the tail pale grey barred with cinnamon.
