Very different in appearance from the bobwhite 
group are the striking quails of the western and south- 
western portions of the United States. Of these birds 
there are almost a dozen forms, some of them plumed, 
others helmeted, others with full, soft crests, but all 
very unlike the bobwhites. These are amoung the most 
beautiful of North American birds, and in many of 
the regions which they inhabit are extremely abundant.
