The Phasianidse, including the Pea-fowl, Pheasants, and Jungle- 
fowl, the Turkeys, and the Guinea-fowl, are very widely distri- 
buted, but are far more abundant than elsewhere in the Eastern 
parts of Asia, both tropical and temperate. Leaving out the African 
guinea-fowls and the American turkeys, we have 13 genera and 
63 species belonging to the Oriental and Palsearctic regions. 
These are grouped by Mr. Elliot (whose arrangement we mainly 
follow) in 5 sub-families, of which 3 — Pavonniae, Euplocaminae, 
and Gallinse — are chiefly Oriental, while the Lophopborniae and 
Phasianinse are mostly Palsearctic or from the highlands on the
