PLATE LXXVII 



GERMAIN'S PEACOCK PHEASANT 



Polyplectron bicalcaratum germaini Elliot 



Where the Peacock Pheasants extend their range southward through Siam into the humid, semi-tropical 

 forests of Cochin-China, they become darker in general coloration, with the eyed spots more intense and 

 brilliant. The transition is gradual, so that while the two extremes are quite distinct, it is possible to 

 separate them only sub-specifically. In habits and nesting they are identical.
