 inches in length ; tail 9*5 inches. 



The male of G'. belt (Oustalct, Bull. Mus. d'llist. Nat. 1898, 

 p. 258) appears to resemble the male of G. sharpii, but to 

 have red legs. The females of the two species probably differ 

 in a conspicuous manner.

This Pheasant inhabits a wide area, being found from 

 Bhutan and Assam down to Chittagoug, Manipur, and 

 Upper Burma. I procured it at Bhamo and near Katha, and 

 Capt. W. G. Nisbett has sent specimens from the Narnli 

 River, near Sadon, east of Myitkyma. These places pro- 

 bably indicate the line of its southern and eastern limits. It 

 appears to occur up to an elevation not exceeding 4000 feet. 



The whole plumage is black, with a bluish gloss at the 

 tips of the feathers. Those of the rump and upper tail- 

 coverts are conspicuously fringed with white, and there are 

 no vermiculated lines on any part of the plumage. The 

 fringes in some specimens are very narrow, in others very 

 broad, but the reason of this is not apparent. The legs seem 

 to vary considerably in colour, being dirty white, greenish, 

 or some shade of brown.
