Himalayas, Cenornis satyra. Three species of Jungle-fowl 
have also been kept for years in the Gardens, viz., Gallus 
sonneraii, the jungle-fowl of Southern India ; G. bankiva , 
the common jungle-fowl of India ; and G. varias, the fork¬ 
tailed jungle-fowl of Java. The Gold Pheasant of China, 
Thaumalea picta; the Bar-tailed Pheasant of Northern 
China, Phasianus reevesi ; and the Ring-necked Pheasant of 
China, PZiasia?ius torquatus , are the only northern species 
that have been kept at all successfully. Some attempts 
have been made, from time to time, to exhibit that 
handsome bird, the Monaul Pheasant, Lophophorus im- 
peyanus , but unfortunately this species has invariably 
succumbed to the heat and damp of Bengal. 
Along this portion of the carriage drive that skirts

cage will be seen in a north-easterly direction, and it 
generally contains some examples of the Paradoxuri 
already described under the Kuch Bihar House. Further 
on, in the same direction, is the large structure known as 
The Durbhunga House, 
called after one of the Life Governors of the Gardens, 
the Maharajah of Durbhunga. This house is at present 
most usefully employed as a depot for the reception of 
animals as they arrive at the Gardens, and for others 
when under observation. 
The visitor after leaving the Schwendler House, and 
proceeding towards the Entrance Gate by the central 
carriage drive, will observe to his left 
The Kestaurant, 
and a few cages scattered about the northern side of
