BORNEAN ARGUS PHEASANT 



Argiisianus grayi Elliot

 of the dull chestnut in the Malay bird. The blue face and the red legs and feet are the b'^ "^^ 

 on the bird, but the plumage is a wonderfully harmonious combination of buff, white, b"^ t> >^' 



When the wings are full spread the radiating lines of eyes appear as if Illuminated from^ ' 

 the bird vibrates Its plumage, all appear to revolve In their sockets — perhaps the mos'^'^ " ° 



to be found in the world of bird life.
