 bill is rather small, and the feathers of the forehead and lores run

 they are well feathered. The throat and chin are very sparsely 

 feathered in the adults, but well covered in the young. At present 

 five species are known, all of which, with the exception of the 

 Eastern Chinese bird, Tragopan cahoti, come within the areas 

 included in these articles.
