 Kind, the Biii and Feet being like them ; the Top 

 and back Part of the Head, Breaft, Belly, and Thighs 

 were of a pale yellowilli buff Colour, with a light Tinc-

 Ihort and black : it was web-footed, its Legs very long, 

 and bare above Knee, both Legs and Feet of a red Co-

 Grafs and Corn. My Lord Burlington was pleafed to 

 give me two of thefe Birds, from one of which, 1 took 

 this Pour tray. The Difference between the Cock and 

 Hen could not be diftinguiHied, neither by the Colours or 

 Shape, but only by the Cock's running to the Hen with 

 open Wings, clafping or embracing her round with them. 

 I could not find any other Name for them with the Poul- 

 terers, but that of Ganfer. This Bird comes the nearefl: to

 cepted, Pag. 360. Tab. 71.
