*T* HIS is a mixed breed between the Pbeafant and Cock ; a 

 circumflance which frequently happens where farm-yards are 

 adjoining to woods where Pheafants abound. The eyes are fur- 

 rounded with a red fkin, and a few fpots of white on the crown 

 of the head : upper part of the back rufous, varied with brown 

 and white ; from thence to the tail afh -colour, crofTed with 

 black: belly, thighs, and under tail coverts, pale brown, afti- 

 colour, and dufky, mixed : wing coverts much like the back : 

 greater quills pale brown ; the lefler white, varied without with 

 black, and within black edged with rufous : tail black in the 

 middle : bill and legs grey. This is Brijfon's defcription.
