become confufed j thefe beautiful eyes are not feen, 
unlefs the wings are a little fpread j the fingle fea- 
ther, of half the natural length, figured in the plate 
[fee Tab. III.] will give an idea of the eyes and fpots 
beyond defcription ^ the inner coverts of the wings 
are brown with black fpots j the under fides of the 
quills are marked like the upper, but fainter coloured, 
the inner webs edged with light afii colour, which 
forms a whitifli bed within fide of the wing. The 
throat, bread, rump, and covert feathers, on the 
upper fide of the tail, are of a dull orange colour, 
with round dulky fpots i the tail hath fourteen feathers 
of very unequal lengths, the mlddlemod being each 
of them three feet long, the next, on each fide, 1 8 
inches, which gradually fhorten to the outermoft on 
each fide, which are each 1 2 inches, their colour is 
dufky, with a tindture of bright brown, the outer 
feathers are dotted with white as fmall as muftard 
feeds ; the next within thefe have larger fpots, lefs re- 
gularly formed ^ the two long middle feathers have 
round white fpots, furrounded with black, on their 
outer webs, and larger irregular brown fpots, fur- 
rounded with dufky on their inner webs, which are 
alh coloured •, the lower belly, and covert feathers 
beneath the tail, are dufky with a confufed mixture 
of brown 5 the legs and feet are like thofe of turkeys, 
with three toes forward, and one backward; the legs, 
feet, and claws, are of a greenilh afh colour; the 
head and legs of this bird, both in my figure and 
defcription were fupplied from the curious drawing 
that was fent from China, with the bird’s fkin, which 
had neither head nor feet adhering to it.
