  REFLECTANCE SPECTRA OF PLUMAGE AREAS COLORED BY GREEN FEATHER PIGMENTS
Since the reflectance spectra of Corythaeola, Ithaginis, and Jacana show the distinctive fea- tures of the Tauraco spectrum, this strongly in- dicates that their pigments are identical with or similar to turacoverdin.
In Ithaginis, the re- flection of green light from the barbules is in- creased by the presence of air in the barbule cells (Schmidt 1961), which is exceptional as barbule cells are normally solid.
Their ranges are relatively close in Burma, where Ithaginis occurs at high altitudes in mountains in the north, and Rollolus in mature forest in lowland and on hills in the extreme south (Smythies 1953, Medway and Wells 1976).

In an attempt to complete our work on White-eared pheasants Crossoptilon crossoptilon and its morphological variation from north to south, we selected this place as our start point in order to examine the differences between the nominate form C.
Under the monastery’s conservation, large populations of White-eared Pheasant and Blood Pheasant Ithaginis cruentus have been established during the last three decades.
Both of them are tame enough to be observed at short distances.

BREEDING OF BEICKI'S BLOOD PHEASANT (ITHAGINIS CRUENTUS BEICKI) IN NORTHWESTERN GANSU, CHINA
The breeding of Beicki's blood pheasant, Ithaginis cruentus beicki, was investigated in April-July 1984-1986 in a 8-km2 study area of the Lenglong Mountains, northwestern Gansu, China, by bird counting and sighting, nest searching and crop collection.
The blood pheasant mainly used the dragon spruce, Picea crassifolia, forest with moss on shaded and semi-shaded slopes at an altitude of 2,250-3,100 m, and alpine shrubs at an altitude of 3,100-3,300 m.
