In most of the species of splendid family of the Pheasants, the males differ conspicuously from the females, and they acquire their ornaments at a rather late period of life. The eared pheasant (Crossoptilon auritum), however, offers a remarkable exception, for both sexes possess the fine caudal plumes, the large ear-tufts and the crimson velvet about the head; I find that all these characters appear very early in life in accordance with rule. The adult male can, however be distinguished from the adult female by the presence of spurs; and conformably with our rule, those do not begin to develop before the age of six months, as I am assured by Mr. Bartlett, and even at this age, the two sexes can hardly be distinguished.. . . .
