The 'white crejled Turkey. Gallopavo CreilatuSv 



Numb. XXXIII. 



THIS Bird I faw in the Poffeffion of Henry Cornelly- 

 joUj Efq; beyond Chemisford in EJfex : It was of the 

 Bignefs of the common Turkies^ having a beautiful large 

 white Copple on its Crown or Top of the Head ; the 

 fleiliy Part of the Head and Neck was red intermixed 

 with purple and blue as in other Turkies. 



The Back and upper Sides of the Wings were of a 

 dusky yeilovYifh brown ; the Bread, Belly, Thighs, and 

 mnder Sides of the Wings white; the Feathers on the 

 lower Part of the Belly and Thighs were edged with 

 black ; the Tail white, the extreme Feathers of which were 

 fcolloped near the Ends with black; the next circular 

 Eow fcolloped with a dusky yellow; the Legs flelli Co- 

 lour having only the Rudiments of Spurs ; the Claws 

 dusky. The Cock may eafily be diftinguifhed from the 

 Hen^ by a builiy Tuft like Horfe-hair, growing on the 

 lower Part of his Bread: : They have a ftrange Antipathy 

 againfl: red Colours, and are exceedingly provoked at the. 

 Sight of them. 



The wild Turkies are now kept by a great many of our 

 EngUjlo Gentlemen, and feem to do very well where there 

 are fmall Woods, and Copfes, in Parks or other enclofed 

 Places for them,.
