HAUNTS OF THE COREAN RING-NECKED PHEASANT 



Phasianus colchicus karpowi Buturlin 



Typical pheasant country in Corea consists of hills fifty to five hundred feet high, with warm and deep 

 valleys between. The hills are of red and yellow clay with little rock, and are covered on the side with 

 bush firs two to four feet high, while the summits are sparsely wooded with larger trees. 



In some localities fifty birds may be shot in a day. In the rice districts the pheasants feed to a large 

 extent on this grain and on millet and small red berries.
