weighing about 40 Ibs. There is one point 
of difference in full-grown birds, which should 
be constant, viz., No. 51 has twenty feathers 
in the tail and No. 52 has twenty-four. Both 
these birds are good eating, and sportsmen 
need not quibble over the feathers in the tail 
if they have an opportunity to bring one to 
bag, for they are the cream of bird-shooting.
