all situated at a considerable elevation. 

 Two specimens, a male and a female, 

 were obtained at Dargwin, 18 miles north 

 of Papun, a police stockade standing 

 at an elevation of 2500 feet. One 

 specimen, a male, was shot at Kollidoo, 

 28 miles N. by W. of Papun at the 

 elevation of 3500 feet ; and the fourth 

 specimen, a male, was obtained by Major 

 Wardlaw Ramsay in the Karen Hills, east 

 of Toungoo, which rise to 6000 feet and 

 are seldom at any point below 3000 feet. 



If we examine the Silver- Pheasants 

 from Papun itself, which is only 200 or 

 300 feet above the sea, and from Kadintee, 

 which place Mr. Hume informs us is 

 in low hills 30 miles N.W. of Papun, 

 we find them to be typical examples of 

 the Lineated Silver-Pheasant. It would 

 therefore seem established that the Line- 

 ated and the Salween Silver-Pheasants, 

 although they are found together in the 

 same district, yet affect different zones of

This species probably extends a con- 

 siderable distance into Siam and the 

 Southern Shan States. 



It is this species which Mr. Hume,

 and afterwards in the "Game Birds of
