THE ASEEL OR MALAY FOWL 



Above a male. Note the stocky build and broad chest, the pea comb and overhanging brows, 

 the short, heavy beak, the absence of marked wattles, the place of which is taken by a 

 median "dewlap"; the short wings, drooping tail, stocky feet and short toes. The plumage 

 is mottled and the hackle and saddle feathers are without red lacmg. ^ Below, a female: 

 note the shafting (as in the Jungle Fowl), but the absence of mossmess on the wmg 



feathers. (Fig. 10.) ^^.
