PLATE XXVI 



LINEATED KALEEGE 



Gennaeus lineatus (Vigors) 



A NIGHT spent in slumber on the branch of a tree ; an early morning drink and search for food ; a midday- 

 siesta ; again a feeding period and in the cool of early evening a leisurely stroll to water and thence to roost ; 

 such is the epitome of the daily life of the Lineated, as well as of most other pheasants. 



They can be located often by the sound of their scratching among leaves, or the low, undertone clucks 

 and chuckles as they search for grubs or succulent tubers.
