This bird, together with the Pliasiauus cniejttiis, forms a small 

 group which deviates from the typical characters of the true 

 Phasianus by the bill being short, greatly rounded, and blunt at 

 the ape.v ; by the tail being shorter and rounded ; and by the 

 scales of the tarn/ being more numerous and closer to each 

 other.
