Koklass-Pheasa nts. 319 



men sent to him by Colonel Biddulph. It 

 seems to me a very recognisable species. 



Nothing is recorded of the habits of 

 this Pheasant, but it is hardly possible that 

 they should differ in any respect from 

 those of the Common Koklass. 



No separate description of this Pheasant 

 is necessary. The male differs from the 

 male Common Koklass-Pheasant in having 

 the chestnut of the breast continued on 

 both sides of the neck so as to form a 

 nearly complete collar. The colour of this 

 collar, of the breast and of the belly, is a 

 dull dark chestnut, not a rich chestnut as 

 in the commoner species, and each feather 

 of these parts is distinctly margined with 

 black. In one specimen these margins 

 are so broad that the general colour of 

 the breast and belly appears to be a dark 

 chocolate. 



The female appears to be of quite the 

 same colour as the female Common 

 Koklass and undistinguishable from it. 



Marshall's Koklass and the Common 

 Koklass do not appear to differ in size.
