EUFF. 
The Euff is a bird of a very pugnacious 
character ; the female of which is called 
the Eeeve. It is about a foot in length ; and 
is principally distinguished by a very 
remarkable circle of long feathers round 
the neck, whence it receives its name: in 
some birds these feathers are black, in 
others white, yellow, or ferruginous ; and 
even in the same bird they frequently 
differ in color. It is only the male, how- 
ever, that is furnished with this append-

second year. These birds are migratory, 
appearing at certain seasons of the year,
