MALE AMHERST PHEASANT . . ; . 
The chief colours of this species (Chrysolophus amherstie) are 
white and metallic green, so that it is very different in appear- 
ance from its near ally the gold pheasant. 
HARLEQUIN QuaAIL (Coturnix delegorguet)  . 
By permission of the Avicultural Society. 
Rain Quait (Coturnix coromandelica) 
The markings on the throats of these quails are of the type 
usually put down as ‘‘recognition marks,” but as the Harlequin 
Quail is African and the Rain Quail Indian, the two species 
cannot possibly interbreed. The pattern, then, can have no 
‘recognition ”’ significance.
