thirty-two inches. Round the eyes a bare red fkin; the reft

 what allied both to the Turkey and Pheafant.

I find in the Hift. dies oif. * a bird by the name of Demi Poule 

 d'Inde, which is faid to proceed from the Cock and the Turkey. 

 It is moftly of a dark colour, like a Vulture; has neither comb 

 nor wattles ; carries the tail like a Turkey ; and ftands very high 

 on its legs. 



It is faid to be peculiar to the ifiand of Java, where it is kept 

 merely for the fake of fighting.
