The figure by Robinson and Kloss, p. 100, gives a 
wrong impression as far as regards the carriage of the 
tail, which in the living bird is held horizontally flat, and 
not spread out vertically. 
Contents of stomach: big and small kernels of different 
fruit. 
Females (14th and 18th May), had developed ovaries. 
Lophura rufa (Raffles). 
6. Ophir Districts (no exact locality). 
Iris brownish red, orbital skin bluish grey (Wedgwood 
blue), feet coral red. 
The lateral shaft stripes are pure white in this specimen 
which is, therefore, typical rufa. 
The bird lives in secondary jungle and in the primeeval 
forest.

The chickens were reared from a cock and a hen, which

tame. Some of the chickens lived to be full grown, but 
most of the hatches perished.

This large series of thirty-one birds from different 
localities is fairly uniform throughout. The only difference 
which can be noted is that the black banding on the
