PLATE LXXn 



LADY AMHERST PHEASANT 



Chrysolophus aniherstiae (Leadbeater) 



To steep, wild valleys and ravines of icy mountain torrents come the Amherst Pheasants to feed. The 

 cocks, in all their glory of ruff and body plumage, are beautiful beyond description, the scarlet side-feathers 

 glowing like shafts of rubies, and the eyes, matching the black and white of the cape, gleaming with the 

 very essence of the wilderness.
