  PHEASANT 
  

   Phasianus 
  colchicus 
  pallasi 
  Rothschild 
  

  

  This 
  pheasant, 
  from 
  the 
  far 
  north-east 
  of 
  China, 
  possesses 
  the 
  widest 
  and 
  most 
  complete 
  white 
  

   collar. 
  It 
  is 
  never 
  found 
  high 
  up 
  on 
  the 
  mountains, 
  but 
  usually 
  on 
  the 
  more 
  sheltered 
  lower 
  slopes 
  

   or 
  on 
  the 
  flat 
  bushy 
  plains.
