of the Turkey. 81 
I ' : 
To this account I beg leave to lay before you the very extra- 
ordinary appearance on the thigh of a Turkey, bred in my 
poultry yard, and which was killed a few years ago for the 
table. The fervant in plucking it was very unexpedledly 
wounded in the hand. On examination the caufe appeared fo 
Angular, that the bird was brought to me. I difcovered, that 
from the thigh-bone iffued a fhort upright procefs, and to that 
grew a large and ftrong toe, with a {harp and crooked claw r 
exa&ly refembling that of a rapacious bird.
