   {Jungle fowl}. (Zo["o]l.)
   (a) Any wild species of the genus {Gallus}, of which several
       species inhabit India and the adjacent islands; as, the
       fork-tailed jungle fowl ({G. varius}) of Java, {G.
       Stanleyi} of Ceylon, and {G. Bankiva} of India.

   Note: The latter, which resembles the domestic gamecock, is
         supposed to be one of the original species from which
         the domestic fowl was derived.

       which is allied to the brush turkey, and, like the

       where they are hatched by the heat produced by
       decomposition.
