stock consisted of three pairs of the Black-backed, two 
pairs of the White-crested, and one pair of the Purple 
Kaleege, one pair of Cheers, and three of Impeyans. These 
ten females produced altogether 141 eggs, being 27 less 
than the same number produced in the year 1859. The 
number of young birds hatched, however, was greater, 
being 82 instead of 62. But the number reared, owing to 
the bad weather, was slightly less—being only 45 instead 
of 50. ‘The whole of the young birds were disposed of 
without difficulty among the members and correspondents 
of the Society, except the four young Impeyan Pheasants ; 
for which, however, there are numerous applicants as soon 
as the sex of the birds shall be ascertainable. 
The following lists give the results of the breeding- 
seasons of 1858, 1859, and 1860, compared together in a
