C. Darwin, Anim. and PI. under Domestic, i. pp. 225-276. 
Thirteen breeds are described: — (1) “Game/’ (2) “Malay,” (3) “Cochin” 
or “Shangai,” (4) “Dorking,” (5) “Spanish” (with fig. p. 226), (6) 
Hamburg” (with fig. p. 228), (7) “Crested” or “Polish” (with fig. 
p. 229), including seven subbreeds, (8) “Bantam,” (9) “Rumpless,” 
(10) “Creepers” or “Jumpers,” (11) “Frizzled ” or “ CafFre,” (12) “Silk,” 
and (13) “ Sooty.” It is argued that all have descended from one stoclf, 
and that stoclc is G. hanldm. The ancient histoiy of the Domestic Fowl is 
then given, and an account first of the external and then of the osteological 
differences between the several breeds, the latter differences being strikingly 
illustrated by figures. To this follow remarks on the effects of use and 
disuse on certain parts of the structure, and on correlation of growth, the 
whole forming an epitome only inferior to the authoi‘’s treatise on Columha 
livia (supvf), pp. 94-90).
