I first became acquainted with this bird through its tail feathers which I re- 

 ceived as a present from a hill chief. They were sufficient to indicate the 

 existence of a hitherto unknown species of silver pheasant which I mentioned in 

 my notes at the time under a distinct name. However I soon afterwards was 

 fortunate enough to obtain a living specimen which was kept alive in Calcutta 

 for some time until it was in full plumage. It was then figured, and the drawing 

 was submitted to Mr. Elliott, who confirmed the opinion I had formed regarding 

 the marked distinctness of the bird from the common lineated pheasant of Burma 

 and its affinity to the silver pheasant of China. I placed the drawing at his 

 disposal, and he described the bird in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society. 



On the second expedition of 1875 I procured another male somewhat younger 

 than the type, but agreeing with it in all its essential details, and this specimen 

 is now in the British Museum. 



Again, since then, I have succeeded, through the kind assistance of Captain 

 Cooke, Assistant Political Eesident, Upper Burma, in obtaining another male which 

 has now been alive in the Zoological Garden, Calcutta, for more than a year. 

 It agrees exactly with the type. I have never succeeded in obtaining a female.
