dens, took ten pairs of Pucras Pheasants ; the others going to

various amateur aviculturists. I could not look after all the cap¬

tured birds, for there were more than I had room for, and also, I had

left behind one of my men, who came on a month later with 60

pairs of Impeyans, 90 Trag'opans ( Satyra ), 24 pairs of Polyplectrons

(Chinquis ) and 7 male Sumatran Pheasants ( Euplocamus ignitus)

which were the first to be brought over.


My man arrived with 54 pairs Impeyans, 67 Tragopans

(Satyra), 18 pairs of Polyplectron chinquis, and five male Sumatran

Eire-tailed Pheasants.


Prince Dhuleep Sing, residing in England, took the greater

number of the Impeyans ; which, I am told, were turned out in the

Maharajah’s coverts. In that same year, 1880, I was able to im¬

port ten Elliott’s Pheasants, four males and two females, seven

Argus Pheasants and four pairs of Euplocamus pyronotus.
