of two new Birds from Nepaul. 169 
The subject from which this description is taken, is in the 
Museum of the Society. 
This bird, together with the Phasianus cruentus, forms a small 
group which deviates from the typical characters of the true 
Phasianus by the bill being short, greatly rounded, and blunt at 
the apex; by the tail being shorter and rounded; and by the 
scales of the tarsi being more numerous and closer to each 
other.
