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



These are described as of a very large size, often weighing from 

 eight to ten pounds ; they have a large comb on the head, frequently 

 double, and in form of a crown ; besides that, a kind of crest, which 

 is most distinguishable in the Hens ; the voice is also said to be more 

 strong and rough than in other Fowls. 



It is observed, that the great Fowls of Bahia* are not feathered 

 well till half grown : it is so with the Paduans, as they get the 

 feathers later than others. In respect to the Paduan breed, with the 

 large head, Pallas is clearly convinced that it is owing to disease, as 

 is the case with the next but one.

Negro Cock, Gen. Syn. iv. 708. 



In this Variety, the cornb, wattles, and membrane which covers 

 the bones, are black ; the plumage, for the most part, of the same 

 colour, and the flesh itself, when boiled, not far different ;f however, 

 in some, the flesh is said to be white. £

% The outward skin was a perfect negro ; the bones also as black as jet ; under the skin 

 nothing could be whiter than the flesh, more tender, or more grateful. — Fryer. Voy. de 

 Siam, i. 279. There are also, at Siam, Fowls with black combs, and skin, with white flesh.
