The feathers Of the crest, the chm ana
the back of the neck are black; the upper
part of the breast, the neck and shoulders
are light cinnamon, with q dash OF car
mine and purple, variegated by the whi'e
eyelike tips of the feathers, the wings ana
part of the back are rich amber, NOTED
with brown and also decorated with white
spots. Little is known Of the habits ana
manners of the tragopan but from ther
strong LEGS snd round wings it is thought
that they do not not fly very much, but O.
pend more on their swiftness OF loot than
on any power of fight they may possess
In the breeding season the tragopan IS
to be seen at his best. His condition ana
plumage are then in the highest state OF
perfection, his beautiful wings and tan are
expanded, his horns erected, his watties III
fated and glowing with bright colors;
There seems no reason why these birds
should not flourish in other countries.
They live in a cold climate or temperate
region, and soon die If taken into the not
plains Of India. Their food consists OF
grain and seed and their flesh Is ueh-
cacy. having much the same flavor as thas
Of the pheasant.
