. The popular natural history . Zoology. PHEASANT.—{Phasianus Colchicus.) It is a native of Java, and the male very closely resembles the gamecock of England. It is a splendid creature, with its light scarlet comb and wattles, its drooping hackles, its long arched /^^^^ ^"^^X^^ tail, and its flashing "^ ""»* ii«- eye. The comb and wattles are of bright- est scarlet, the long hackles of the neck and lower part of the back are fine orange-red, the upper part of the back is deep blue-black, and the shoulders are ruddy chestnut. The second- aries and greater coverts are deep steely blue, and the quill feathers of the wing are black- ish brown edged with rusty yellow. The long, arched and drooping tailisblue-blackglossed with green, and the breast and under parts black, so that in general aspect it is very like the black-breasted red gamecock. The domesticated bird is of all the feathered tribe the most directl y useful to man, and is the subject of so many valuable treatises that the reader is referred to them for the best mode of breeding, rearing, and general management of poultry. On the accompanying illustration are shown some of the most useful or remarkable of the varieties of this bird. The now well-known Turkey is another example of the success with which foreign birds can be acclimatized in this country. The Turkey is spread over many parts of America, such as the wooded parts of Ark- ansas, Louisiana, Ala- bama, Indiana, &c., but does not seem to ex- tend beyond the Rocky ?4ountains. It begins to mate about the middle of February, and the males then utter those Uidicrnus gobbling sounds which have caused the bird to be called Gobbler, pr Bubbljr-Jock by the whites, and Oo-coo-coo by the Cherokees, .
