[New Blood-Pheasants. By C. William Beebe. Zoologica, New York, 

 vol. i. 1912, pp. 189-193.] 



When travelling through Yunan, during his recent journey 

 in the East^ Mr. Beebe met a Chinaman Avho had attached 

 to his pack-horse the remains of a Blood-Pheasant. On his 

 return to Europe he found two mounted birds of the same 

 kind in the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle at Paris^ which 

 shewed him that the Yunan bird was undoubtedly a very 

 distinct form. He proposes to call it Ithaginis kuseri, after 

 Col, Kuser^ for whom lie has been conducting his Plieasant 

 researches. The type in Paris was obtained by Prince Ileuri 

 d'Orleans in 1896, Mr. Beebe also separates the Blood- 

 Pheasant of southern and British Sikkim from that of Nepal 

 and northern Sikkim under the title of Ithaginis cruentus 

 affinis.
