BANKIVA COCK.— JAGO COCK AND HEN.— 
SPANISH COCK AND HEN. 
From the Bankiva fowl nearly all the various kinds of 
fowls found in British poultry-yards are said to have 
sprung. It is a native of the island of Java, and is cha- 
racterised by a red indented comb, red wattles, and ash- 
grey legs and feet. The cock has a thin indented or 
scalloped comb, and wattles under the mouth. The 
feathers of the neck are long, falling down, and rounded 
at the tips, and are of the finest gold colour. The head 
and neck are fawn-coloured, the wing-coverts dusky 
brownish and black ; the tail and belly black. The hen 
is of a dusky ash-grey and yellowish colour, and has a 
much smaller comb and beard than the cock.
