GAME BIRDS OF INDIA AND ASIA. 31 



, The present species inhabits Manipur and the 

 Naga Hills south of Assam, ranging from five to 

 ten thousand feet according to season, like the 

 other species. It has also been known to occur 

 in the Dafla Hills north of Assam. It feeds chiefly 

 on berries and affects high oak forest. Its breed- 

 ing in the wild state is not known, but an egg laid 

 in confinement was buff finely speckled with red- 

 dish brown. I have seen in the London Zoo a 

 hybrid cock, bred between this species and the 

 T. temminckii mentioned below. It hardly showed 

 the cross at all, almost precisely resembling a pure T. 

 blythii, and having the same yellow and green throat, 

 but the grey under-parts were variegated with red.

This may be distinguished from the crimson 

 Tragopan, which it much resembles, by having 

 the light spots on the plumage larger, grey instead 

 of white, and without the black bonders ; the face 

 is also bare of feathers, the hens of the two species 

 are alike. This Tragopan is found in South China, 

 and has been obtained in our territory near 

 Sodon.

 black ; the bare face is scarlet, with bine eyebrows. The hen
