Afghan White-winged Pheasant - After a slow start this species is 
now responding well to game farm propagation. Four States produced 
3254 birds in 1963 with New Mexico far in the lead. 
Kalij Pheasant - Three States have found this species relatively 
productive in captivity. In 1963, from a small breeding stock 382 
individuals were reared. ° 
Reeve's Pheasant - Many States have demonstrated the possibility of 
rearing large numbers of this species from breeding stock that have 
endured many generations in captivity. The survival of such birds in 
the wild has been so poor that game farm production has been decreased 
materially with but 3 States producing 1911 birds this year. Problems 
associated with breeding wild-trapped birds, secured in France are being 
gradually resolved by Tennessee and Missouri, with the production of 
115 birds in 1963. 
Reviewing this record it is evident that State game farms are 
capable of producing many foreign species in quantities required to 
permit adequate tests of their adaptability to game habitats in the 
United States. In terms of quality and survival potential following 
release, there is great variation among the birds reared on State game 
farms. While hand-reared birds are not considered to be the equal of 
wild-trapped individuals for test purposes, it is entirely possible 
to produce reasonably suitable stock in captivity. Encouraging progress 
in this project can be reported. 
A more detailed record of propagation techniques and results by 
species and States for 1960-1963 is presented in Table 2.
