55 PEAFOWLS, JUNGLEFOWLS, PHEASANTS, AND QUAILS 1. This family includes all birds properly classified by authorities like चरक and सुश्रुत as 'विफिस, though the partial lists of such birds given by them include just a few which according to the present-day scientific classifica- tion are outside the order Gallinae but which, from their habit of frequen- ting the ground either for food or otherwise appeared to belong to the 'faf group. For example the list in includes the effe, the Short-toed Rufous Lark, and, the Adjutant Stork, the former of which somewhat resembles the Quail in its habits and the latter seeks its food from refuse heaps like the Common Cock; also, the Great Bustard, and are, the Little Bustard ground birds of Order Grallae which look somewhat like a Peacock without the train. g includes , the Nightjar, arife, the Short-toed Rufous Lark, fag, the Magpie Robin and Blackbird, er, the Little Bustard, and as the Laughing Thrushes and Babblers. The Nightjar keeps to the ground during day-time and the others find their food chiefly on the ground. Subject to these exceptions the lists are fairly representative of the Gallinaceous birds of India. 2. अभिधानचिन्तामणि gives शिखण्डिक and चर्मंचूड in the lists of names for a Cock, and fit and others have fit and firavet for both Cock and Peacock. firfers and first (both meaning 'one having a crest') are best interpreted with reference to the synonymy for first- "चूडा केशी केशपाशी शिखा शिखण्डिका समाः" -हेमचन्द्र Both the terms thus clearly apply to the Peacock and such Cocks as have a feathery crest contrasting with the Common Cock and Jungle-fowl who have a fleshy comb and are therefore the चर्मचूड कुक्कुट strictly so called. शिथी e are, therefore, the Cheer and Kalij Pheasants as a group as they have feathery crests. For the same reason the Peacock is शिखी, शिखावल, etc., and the Monal is शिखी and more specifically मयूरक or मयूर कुक्कुट सुश्रुत has observed the distinction by naming मयूर कुनकुट, and यवालक (the White-crested Kalij) as representing three different types separately, and in a similar way names बहीं (Peacock), कुक्कुट, इन्द्राभ (Monal) and रक्तवक (the Cheer and Kalij Pheasants) as a group as they have red skin surrounding only the eyes which distinguishes them from the Junglefowls which have the whole face Peafowls, Junglefowls, Pheasants, and Quails Pavoninae Argusianinae Phasianinae Perdicinae Turmicidae Peacook- Peacook Pheasant कुक्कुटा. तित्तिरवर्तकादयः जीवजीवकः लावा: Phasianinae -कुक्कुटा: चर्मचूडाः ताम्रडाः Red Jungle- fowl बादर कुनकुट Perdicinae -farfera:- Phasianidae-faferer: -वर्तका: True Quails असितापा रक्तवत्मक Grey Jungle Impeyan Pheasant 1. cheerPheasant- fowl कुक्कुट 2.
