of the Turkey. 
81 
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 unexpectedly 
wounded in the hand. On examination the caufe appeared fo 
lingular, that the bird was brought to me. I difcovered, that 
from the thigh-bone iffued a fliort upright procefs, and to that 
grew a large and ftrong toe, with a fharp and crooked claw, 
exactly refembling that of a rapacious bird.
