SHANGHAE FOWLS, 



DR. M'CLINTOCK'S IMPERIAL CHINESE PULLET. 



The weight of the above fowl is eight pounds and three- 

 quarters as fine a hen as on 3 need to look at. She is heavily 

 feathered on the legs, which are short, and she has that com- 

 pactness of body that always denotes a good fowl of any 

 breed. Dr. McClintock may well be proud of such fowls, for 

 their like is not often seen. They are however, not superior to 

 the specimens that I have received from C. C. Plaisted, Esq., of 

 Great Falls, N. H., who has a large number equally large and 

 fine.
