III. WOOD’S ARGUS PHEASANT. ARGUSIANUS BIPUNCTATUS. 
Argus bipunctatus, Wood, Ann. Mag. N. H. (4) vill. p. 67 
(1871); Elliot, Monogr. Phasian. i. pl. 13 [part of pri- 
mary quill] (1872). 
Argustanus bipunctatus, Ogilvie-Grant, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xxii. 
p- 366 (1893). 
This species is still known only from a portion of a primary 
ing-feather from a male bird, which is now preserved in the 
British Museum, to which it was presented by Mr. Edward 
Bartlett. Itis so perfectly distinct both in its markings and 
in the shape of the shaft of the quill, from either of the above 
: species, that one can have no hesitation in recognising it as 
belonging to a distinct species, in spite of the somewhat frag- 
mentary evidence.
