a The Polyplectron of this district (Chitagong) is undoubtedly, 

 as you say, Poly 'plectrum tibetanwn, and the Mathura, Euplo- 

 camus horsfieldi.

 Fowl. 



" The Polyplectron is in this district invariably called 

 ' katmoir' ; and is not known by any of the vernacular

 (Turies) all call the Moonal, Kukur, but I cannot say whether 

 this is its specific name or applied to all Pheasants indis- 

 criminately."

I am indebted to the Chief Commissioner of Assam, Sir 

 S. C. Bayley, for a magnificent specimen of the male of 

 this species, the first of the kind that I have been able to pro- 

 cure. 



The specimen was skinned and stuffed by some of the 

 Mishmis, and the manner in which it has been stuffed is 

 peculiar. The skin having been taken off the body, a neat
