Brandos Pheasant requires a new name. I propose to call 

 it Phasianus hrandti. 



" I also exhibit to-night a bird bred at Trin^, between 

 a male of this Phasianus brandti and a hen of the ordinary 

 mongrel breed of Pheasant kept in England for sporting 

 purposes. I wish to point out that, although only hatched in 

 June last, this bird has the size and perfect plumage of an 

 ordinary two-year-old cock Pheasant, and is most like the 

 male parent in appearance. 



" I also propose the following names for two apparently 

 new species : — 



" Phasianus berezowskyi, n. sp. 



" This form is nearest to P. strauchi from the same 



country, but differs conspicuously in having the feathers of 



the chest and breast of a bright shining golden-brown colour, 



narrowly margined with steel-blue, while the flanks are paler 



glistening buff golden-brown, each feather with a broad tip 



of steel-blue instead of the brilliant brownish red which 



pervades the feathers of the breast and flanks in Phasianus 



strauchi, these plumes being bordered with metallic oily 



green. The scapulars also differ in being whiter, less 



vertniculated with black, while their broad borders are more 



buffy rufous and less chestnut than in P. strauchi. The 



feathers of the hind-neck and mantle are buffy yellowish 



brown, not fiery orange, and have a very large apical central 



blotch of blackish green, while in P. strauchi this is merely 



a small narrow wedge-like streak. Lower rump more bluish ; 



tail whitish grey instead of yellowish grey, washed with 



rufous ; throat and neck oily green washed with blue, and 



sharply cut off from the brown of the chest. Wing 235 mm., 



tail about 52 cm. (worn). 



" Hah. Hui-Tsian, Kansu, N.W, China {Berezowsky) . 



" Phasianus hagenbecki, n. sp. 



" This species is somewhat allied to Phasianus torquatus, 

 Gm., but differs in the following points : — The scapulars are 

 paler rufous buff instead of dark bright chocolate-rufous or 

 maroon-chocolate, as in P. torquatus. The flanks and 

 breast are much paler, as are also the feathers of the hind-
