* The above is the only living specimen in Europe. A hen of the same species, shipped with the cock, died in the

English Channel. Two common hen Pheasants (Pliasiurws colchicus) were put in her place, and the above table shows' the result.

In 1S50, crosses were also obtained between these common hen Pheasants and a cock of B; which, when reared, were

turned at large in the Park, as also were the parent birds.
