ORDER IV.— Gallinacea. 



Most of our barn-door fowl, and many excellent game-birds, are 

 to be found in this order, which takes its name from Gallus galli- 

 naceus, the common cock and hen. It is composed in a great 

 measure of one natural family, and is divided into genera, sub- 

 genera, and species.
