The '''Himalayan monal''' ''(Lophophorus impejanus)'', also known as the '''Impeyan monal''' or '''Kashmiri pheasant''', is a [[bird]] in the [[pheasant]] family, [[Phasianidae]]. Its discoverer, Latham, wrote in his ''General History of Birds'' (1821): "[the monal] inhabits India, but is not common, being brought from the hills in the northern parts of Hindustan to Calcutta, as a rarity. Lady Impey attempted, with great prospect of success, to bring some of them to England, but after living on board for two months they caught a disorder from the other poultry, and died".<ref name="beebe1">{{cite book | last =Beebe | first =William | title =A monograph of the pheasants | url =https://archive.org/details/monographpheasaIIIBeeb | publisher =Witherby & Co. | location =London | year =1918 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/monographpheasaIIIBeeb/page/145 145] | isbn = }} Available on line in [https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/34629314 Biodiversity Heritage Library]</ref> | The '''Himalayan monal''' ''(Lophophorus impejanus)'', also known as the '''Impeyan monal''', '''Impeyan pheasant''' or the '''Kashmiri pheasant''', is a [[bird]] in the [[pheasant]] family, [[Phasianidae]].
