3,}o OF BIRDS. 



The beak is ihort, broad, fomewhat reflected, and of a deep red 1 

 colour, except the noftrils, and the extremity, which are black ; 

 a carneous tubercle between the bafe of the upper chap and the 

 head, oblong, and prominent. The head, and upper part of the 

 neck, are green, with a changeable tinge of black, glofly and 

 mining like Satin, at a remote view feeming entirely black ; the 

 reft of the neck a bright white ; a broad fillet of a beautiful orange 

 encompaffing the upper part of the body, the fhoulders and 

 breaft ; the reft of the breaft, and the belly a bright white, with a 

 beautiful black lift through the middle lengthways, terminated 

 with a pale orange tinc~t under the tail. The wings are elegantly 

 variegated with black and white, and the middle of the back 

 is all white. The tail is white, moftly tipped with black. The 

 legs and feet are of a pale carmine, and the fkin fo pellucid, 

 that the courfe of the veins may clearly be feen through it. It 

 is more admired for its beautiful clothing, than for the table ; 

 bearing no price for the table on account of its ungrateful tafte. 

 I have feen them brought up from the egg under a common hen 

 at Ghucefter-hill, near Wark-worth, out of curiofity, and for their 

 beauty. They were as tame and familiar, as other domeftic 

 fowls. Cavernous rocks, and clefts or cavities in the earth, are 

 the fituation it prefers to all others for breeding in. Hence it 

 obtained the name of the Bur rough-Duck.

 alive a few years ago in the ifland of Farn, and prefented to the
