* The above is the only living specimen in Europe. A hen of the same species, shipped with the cock, died in the 

 English Channel. Two common hen Pheasants (Pliasiurws colchicus) were put in her place, and the above table shows 

 ' the result. 



In 1S50, crosses were also obtained between these common hen Pheasants and a cock of B; which, when reared, were 

 turned at large in the Park, as also were the parent birds.
