Description. 'T' H I S fort varies in colour equally with the others, and dif- 

 fers only in the feathers, as the end of every one is curled 

 up, appearing at a diftance like wool, or rather as if the bird had 

 juft come out of the water. 

 Place. This variety is found at Java, Japan, and throughout the fouth 



oidfia, where k is likely they are natives, efpecially as the young 

 chickens are more tender of cold, and more difficult to rear, than 

 others in England; though they are common enough, but feldom 

 kept, except as a variety. 



They are alfo met with in Surinam and Guiana, and appear to 

 be the only fort met with by Fermin and Bancroft. The laft of 

 thefe authors adds, that they are fmaller than ours, and are 

 brought from the inland parts, where they are reared by the 

 Indians, and thought by them to be doubthfs natural to this part of 

 America. 



Their flefh faid to be firm and delicate.
