GAME BIRDS OF INDIA AND ASIA. 39 



Geoffroy's Blood-Pheasant. 



Ithagenes geoffroyi, Brit. Mus. Cat. Birds, Vol. XXII, 

 p. 269. 



The male of this species much resembles the Indian bird, but 

 has the throat and breast grey, thus being duller in colour, while 

 the hen is greyer above and has the tail indistinctly edged with 

 crimson. 



This Blood-Pheasant is found in Eastern Tibet and Western 

 Szechuen, and so comes near Indian limits. 



Chinese Blood-Pheasant. 



Ithagenes sinensis, Brit. Mus. Cat., Birds, Vol. XXII, 



p. 270. 

 Native namk. — Sermean, Kan-su. 



The male can be distinguished from the Indian bird by the 

 blackish-brown sides of the crest, blackish-grey front of the neck, 

 and by having a rusty-brown patch on the wing where there is 

 a green one in the other two species. The hen is 

 most like that of the Indian bird, but has a grey instead of brown 

 throat. This species inhabits high mountains in China.
