 and the head streaked with the same; the wings and tail,

 the secondary quills and under coverts elegantly barred with 

 black and white. The wings were very short in proportion 

 to the size of the bird, for if the primary quills had been 

 closed, they would certainly not have reached near the end of 

 the tail.'
