ill cd. X. (17r)S)p. 15(i, on till? authority of Edwards, whose Plates LXVII. and 

 LXIX. lie iinnti's. In ed. xii. (ITdCi) p. 208 he adds — after first (inofiiiff Edwards 

 as liefore — to his quotations Brisson, i. p. 201, " lo ]iaon de la tihine." Now both 

 Edwards and Brisson describe the bird with jiurple eye-spots and two spots on the 

 tail-feathers. Edwards says expressly: "Each feather of the tail liath two 

 beantiful eyes," and on PI. LXIX. the outermost rectrix is drawn with two " eyes." 

 Edwards' Plate LXVII. is even quoted under '^ P. c/iiiii/iiis'" in the Catalogui' of 

 Birds, vol. xxii., and that plate is the decidinu; one, as it is first quoted in 1758 ; 

 but also Brisson's " Paon de la Chine" is, ajiart from the locality, Edwards' pur|)le- 

 eyed Cliinese peacock-jilieasant. 



Tiie bird now known as P. cliimjiiis must thus be calh'd P. Iiiculrdridiix. Tlie 

 genus then comprises the following species : 



P. bicalciifutds ( = cliinqiiiii = ///ji'tti/iiis) : Ind()-( 'liinese countries. 



P. germuini : Cochin China. 



P. m(ilaccensis{= /lan/w/rh'i) : Malay Peninsula, Suinati'ii. 



P. scldeiermacheri : Borneo. 



P. napoleonis {— iiehrkornai') : Palawan. 



(P. intermedium Hume is a name given to some tail-feathers which were 

 similar to those of P. yermaini, and were said to have come from the Lnshai and 

 Chiu Hills. As these feathers did not differ from those of P. germaini, and they 

 were obtained in native huts, the name P. intermedium Hume (Strag Fedtherx, i. 

 (1873) p. 36) has no value at all.)
