THE GOLDEN-BREASTED TRAGOPAN. 
Tragopan Ilastingii Gould. 
PLATE XXV. Male— PLATE XXVI. Female. 
Tragopan Hastingii, Gould's Century. 
This is another very beautiful species, about the 
same size with the last, and figured and described 
by Mr Gould in his Himalayan Century. The horns 
and wattles are of the same bluish-purple. The 
crown is furnished with a lengthened crest of the 
same kind of disunited or hairy-looking feathers, 
pure black : the hack of the neck, upper part of the 
back and shoulders, are of a deep uniform purplish- 
red : the wings, and whole of the upper parts, ex- 
cept the tail-coverts, are of a deep wood-brown, 
each feather having an ocellated spot of white, sur- 
rounded with black, most prominently conspicuous 
on the lower part of the back and tips of the se- 
condaries. Immediately below the naked wattles 
there is a patch of brilliant golden - orange ; the 
feathers composing it narrow and lengthened, and 
of a hard horny consistence, their points disunited, 
stretching over, and veiy conspicuous upon the deep 
black which covers the rest of the under parts.
