The Himalayan Pheasants imported by the Society in 
1857 all bred again in the Gardens during the past summer, 
and their produce was disposed of among the Members 
and Correspondents of the Society. The following Table 
shows the number of birds raised in each successive year 
since their introduction :—

The space in the Society’s grounds heing so limited, 
the Council have resolved to dispose of the eggs of the 
three species of Kaleege laid during the present season, and 
to breed upon the premises only the Cheer and the Im- 
peyans, with which they have not hitherto succeeded so 
well, together with the Japanese Pheasant and the Tra- 
gopan, of both of which species pairs have lately been 
obtained for the first time. 
The general state of good health of the animals in the 
Society’s Gardens cannot be better evidenced than by the 
following list of 26 species of Mammals, 29 of Birds, and 
1 Reptile, which have been bred in them during the past 
year.
