NORTHERN BURMA— YUNNAN BORDER— HOME OF THE HYBRID KALEEGE 



Standing on the high divide which shunts its eastern waters into China and its western into the 

 great rivers of Burma, a great, tumbled, irregular mass of mountains and valleys is seen. All are forest, 

 clad with bamboo, oaks and hard wood, and here, hidden beneath that vast extent of many-tinted foliage, 

 I found the northern Kaleege pheasants. 



LINE OF KACHIN PHEASANT TRAPS 



The Kachins and other native tribes use a deadly method of trapping. A low fence of split bamboo 

 runs uphill and down for a mile or more, with deadfalls every few feet. When this is in full operation, 

 few pheasants fail, sooner or later, to be caught, and whole districts are thus cleared of these splendid 

 birds.
