HOME AND UNFINISHED ARENA OF THE MALAY OCELLATED PHEASANT 



Near the summit of a low rise in open jungle I found a small cleared space. This I discovered was the 

 dancing arena of an Ocellated Pheasant, which had evidently met with disaster, for its bones and feathers 

 were found near by. The clearing was a small one, probably the first attempt of an immature bird, for it 

 was not on quite level ground, and a woody plant growing within its limits had resisted all attempts to 

 uproot it.
