 Birds, pi. 23. 



This is a small race, but with the legs longer than in the last, 

 which, as well as the toes, are covered with feathers, and sometimes 

 of so great a length, as to be quite an incumbrance in walking. 



It is by some valued on account of the number of eggs the Hen 

 lays without sitting, but the smallness of them, as well as the trifling- 

 quantity, must ever preclude their coming into general use. 



Some of the Bantam breed are without any feathers on the legs ; 

 but the connoisseurs in these matters call such birds Bastards. The 

 booted legs are also seen in large Fowls, perhaps by mixing the 

 breed.

This is a small kind, and diners only in being clothed with 

 feathers on the legs, quite to the toes. 



The three last scarcely seem to be worth separating.

 Turkish Cock, Gen. Syn. iv. 707. Will. Engl. 156. 



Willughby's words are— The Turkish Cock and Hen differ from 

 ours, especially in the variety and beauty of their colours.
