 Habitat in China orientali. 



77/. kiangsuensis inhabits Eastern China from the delta of 

 the Yang-tsi-kiang to Kalgan, and extends west at least to the 

 mountains of Shansi and to the Ichang gorges on the Yang- 

 tsi-kiang, where its range overlaps that of Ph. reevesi. 

 North it does not reach the Liau-khe valley, on the left 

 side of which the much darker and completely ringed 

 I'll, karpowi occurs. In the south its range coalesces with 

 the much paler but most probably only subspeeitically distinct 

 Ph. gmelini. Several fine specimens of this Pheasant from 

 Shanghai in the Tring Museum have been kindly compared 

 with mv specimens of Ph. karpowi and Ph. alpherakyi by Mr. 

 Rothschild and Mr. Ilartert, and in the Academy Museum 

 I have examined a specimen purchased (frozen) by the late 

 Dr. Kadde in 1856 at Kiakhta, where it was evidently brought 

 from Kalgan, as Mr. Lorenz {in litt.) has received similar 

 specimens thence. 



It is evidently only a subspecies of Ph. holdereri, as a 

 specimen from Uliassutai (mentioned above) is somewhat 

 intermediate, having much grey on the wing-coverts.
