The Pheasant.
(Phasianus colchicus.)
This handsome bird of brilliant plumage came origi-
nally, at a very remote date, from Asia. It is now to be
met with in most countries of Europe and is especially
preserved in great Britain for sporting purposes and on
account of the excellency of its flesh. Besides being rapid
fliers, Pheasants run very swiftly, seeking shelter in the
undergrowth. The nest is on the ground, placed under
cover, and the egge, of a greenish - brown color, are
from ten to eighteen in number.
