bird do the thing without paying any
admission fee, but the records of the
cases where the human eye has wit
messed the creatures act may be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
The bird is Tenminck's tragopan,
species of pheasant. It's beauty Of
plumage is beyond comparison with
anything in art and is rivaled in its
varied hues only by the feathers of
the peacock and the Argus pheasant
The tragopan has rolled under its
chin like a tucked-up bib on a child
a feather apron. In the birds normal
condition this rolled apron practically
is invisible, nothing showing except
a family defined line that seems to be
drawn across the raised surface of
the throat. On rare occasions the
tragopan raises it head, struts little
proudly and then unrolls it's apron Of
feathers until it covers the birds en-
