New arrivals at the Zoological Societys Gardens: Pheasants, 1870. The new Impeyan is at once distinguishable from the well-known Monal, or common Impeyan pheasant of the Himalayas, as, also, from the more recently-discovered Lhuys Impeyan, of Sechuen, by well-marked characters. The sides of the head are widely naked and covered with bright blue skin. The top of the head is covered with short, curly feathers, of a bright green...The general colour of the plumage is velvety black...the tragopan, which Dr. Jerdon has named Ceriornis Blythii or Blyths tragopan...is to be recognised at first sight by the splendid golden-yellow of the naked face and throat...The figure on the right represents Sclaters Impeyan; that on the left is Blyths tragopan. Behind, in the background, is given a view of Temmincks tragopan, in order to show the remarkable way in which these birds display their throat-wattler in the breeding-season. From "Illustrated London News, 1870.
