  HAUNTS 
  OF 
  THE 
  COREAN 
  RING-NECKED 
  PHEASANT 
  

   Phasianus 
  colchicus 
  karpowi 
  Buturlin 
  

  

  Typical 
  pheasant 
  country 
  in 
  Corea 
  consists 
  of 
  hills 
  fifty 
  to 
  five 
  hundred 
  feet 
  high, 
  with 
  warm 
  and 
  deep 
  

   valleys 
  between. 
  The 
  hills 
  are 
  of 
  red 
  and 
  yellow 
  clay 
  with 
  little 
  rock, 
  and 
  are 
  covered 
  on 
  the 
  side 
  with 
  

   bush 
  firs 
  two 
  to 
  four 
  feet 
  high, 
  while 
  the 
  summits 
  are 
  sparsely 
  wooded 
  with 
  larger 
  trees. 
  

  

  In 
  some 
  localities 
  fifty 
  birds 
  may 
  be 
  shot 
  in 
  a 
  day. 
  In 
  the 
  rice 
  districts 
  the 
  pheasants 
  feed 
  to 
  a 
  large 
  

   extent 
  on 
  this 
  grain 
  and 
  on 
  millet 
  and 
  small 
  red 
  berries.
