 Turner Pigeon, Gen. Syn. iv. 614. 



This Variety has a tuft of feathers hanging down backwards from 

 the top of the head, like the mane of a horse. To this may be 

 added the Finnikin, which is very like, but less in size.

Spot Pigeon, Gen. Syn.'w. 6l5. Will. 137. 17. Id. Engl. 182. 17. 



This has on the forehead, above the bill, a spot of the same colour 

 as the tail ; body and wings white. 



To the above may be added, a singular Lusus of a Common 

 Pigeon, presented to me in 1778, and now in the Linnaean Museum : 

 the peculiarity of which consists, in every feather being incomplete ; 

 that is, enclosed in a kind of tube the whole of the length, which, 

 in some of the prime quills, is six inches. This kind of filmy case 

 surrounds all the feathers at their first pushing forth, and, in general, 

 gives way as the webs advance ; but in the present instance, was of 

 so firm a texture, as to imprison the feather to its utmost length : the 

 bird was otherwise healthy during the time it lived. — See Lvn. Trans.
