middle pair. The male has one large 

 spur on each leg. 



Some of the outer webs of the quills of 

 the wing in both sexes of these Pheasants 

 are coloured rufous, and this character 

 being very constant, may be serviceable 

 for the purpose of discriminating these 

 birds. 



A fourth species of this group (Pucrasia 

 castarwa) has been known for very many 

 years. The original specimens, which 

 Mr. Gould described and figured, are 

 supposed to have been procured in 

 Kafiristan, but the matter is doubtful. 

 This Pheasant may possibly be found in 

 Kashmir. It may be recognised by the 

 colour of the upper part of the mantle 

 and neck, which is dark chestnut like that 

 of the lower plumage. The sides of the 

 body are chestnut, or chestnut mixed 

 with a little black.
