MeVile CAT ALOCUL OF THE PHEASANTS. 
PEAFOWL, JUNGLE FOWL AND SPUR 
FOWL IN THE INDIAN MUSEUM. 
By C. W. BEEBE. 
One of the most valuable helps in my work of obtaining data 
for a Monograph of the Pheasants has been constant study of the 
excellent series of skins in the Indian Museum. By the courtesy of 
Dr. Annandale these have been wholly at my disposal during my 
nine weeks of residence in India. 
Finding that the collection was derived from several distinct 
sources, and that an inclusive catalogue was lacking, I have pre- 
pared one. This was made at the Museum during the period from 
March 26th to June Ist, 1910, and includes the Pheasants proper, 
Peafowl, Jungle Fowl and Spur Fowl]. As it may prove useful to 
other future students of the collection, I have submitted it for 
publication.
