4. List of the Species of Phasianid^, with Remarks on 

 THEIR Geographical Distribution. By P. L. Sclater, 

 M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S., Secretary to the Society. 



(Plate XVI.) 



There is little doubt that all the species of the family Phasianidce 

 might be introduced into this country, and bred in our aviaries. 

 Whether, as the more sanguine advocates of acclimatization main- 

 tain, it would be possible to add them to our game-preserves, and 

 whether this, if carried out, would be of material advantage to the 

 sportsman, I will not now stop to inquire. It is sufficient to say that 

 increased interest has been lately manifested in many quarters in the 

 acquisition of living examples of these splendid birds, and that I have 

 received numerous offers of assistance from correspondents in various 



Pace. ZooL. Soc— 1863, No. VIII.
