Abstract
IN reference to the notice of a fierce pheasant mentioned by Mr. Maw in the number of NATURE for December 13, I would refer him to my “Observations in Natural History” (p. 172), in which I have spoken of a daring cock pheasant, which I saw myself, while walking in the grounds of a friend in Cambridgeshire. This bird was in the habit of attacking any persons that approached near the spot where he was. Some woodcutters at work on the grounds had to protect their legs with strong leather gaiters.
