FULGO'SIO (Raphael), a celebrated jurift, a native 
of Placentia, though the Geuoefe writers claim him for 
tlieir countryman. He appears to have been a profeffor 
at Pavia in 1389, and at Placentia in 1399. He afterwards 
occupied the chair of law at Padua, vvliere his appoint¬ 
ments were finally raifed to 1000 ducats. He was fent as 
jurifconfult to the council of Conftance, and wasof great 
life to that aflcmbly by his dexterity and profound know, 
ledge. He was likewife frequently delegated on public 
bufinefs to Venice. He died in 1427, and a fplendid mo¬ 
nument was erefted to his memory in the church of St. 
Antony at Padua. Fulgofio was the author of fsveral 
efteemed woiks in his profeffion, as Commentaries upon 
the Code and Digeft, Counfels, &c. He introduced fe- 
veral new opinions into the fchools of Italy; of which, 
that concerning males defcending through females, which 
bore his name, was the occafion of much controverfy even 
down to late times.

FUL'HAM, a confiderable village of Middlefex, four 
miles weft from London, The Danes, in 869, wintered 
at this place till they retired to the continent. It was in 
the conqueror’s time held of the king by the canons of St. 
Paul. The bifliop of London has a palace here ; and the 
demefne has belonged to that diocefe ever fince the year 
1067. From this place to Putney there is a bridge over 
the Thames, where not only horfes and carriages, but 
foot-paftengers alfo, pay toll. The church is both a rec- 
tory and a vicarage.

FU'LlCA,y [from fuligo, Lat. foot; fo named by 
Linnaeus, on account ot its footy colour.] In ornitholo¬ 
gy, the Coot, Gallinule, &c. a genus belonging to 
the o der of Grallae ; the charadlers of which are: Bill 
convex; the upper mandible vaulted at its margin over 
the under, which fwells behind its tip ; noftrils oblong ; 
front bald ; feet four-toed, fomewhat pinnated. This 
genus contains twenty-feven fpecies now known, ranged 
in two fiib-divifions ; thofe with cloven feet, correfpond- 
ing to the gallinules or water-hens, amounting to twenty 
fpecies ; and thofe with pinnated feet, correfponding to 
the coots, amounting to feven fpecies. Thefe birds in. 
habit the water, and live upon worms, infefts, and fmall 
fifti. In the comprefted form of their body, they refem- 
ble the rails ; their bill is thick, their tail and wings ftiort. 
1. Feetdoven. i. Fulica fufca, the brown gallinule : fpecific 
charafter, fron tyellow ifti, bracelets of the fame colotir, its 
body dufkifti. Length one foot; bill one inch, olive green ; 
irides red ; eyelids white ; the plumage above is olive 
brown ; throat, and fore part of the neck, deep afh-co- 
lour, with a tinge of olive; bread, belly, and thighs, 
afti-colour, the feathers margined with white at the tips ; 
under tail' coverts black ; bend of the wing white ; quills 
dufky brown ; the outer one edged w’ith white ; the tail 
is olive brown; the outer feather white, and a little 
rounded in fttape ; legs olive brown; garter round the 
knee yellow. This fpecies inhabits France, and is a fo- 
litary bird, frequenting the fame places with tiie common 
gallinules, but not mixing with that fpecies ; it feeds on 
the fame food as that bird, and the flefti is much like it 
in the tafte. In all probability this is tlte fame with Al- 
drovandus’s Italian rail, which is taken in the neighb(-ur-* 
hood of Venice with great ceremony; feveral perfons 
wading among tlie marfliy places, and driving them from 
thebufhes and places where they lurk,' while others be¬ 
ing ready with hawks, let them off as foon as they take 
wing. They are faid to have been much efteemed at the 
time of the above-mentioned author. 
There is a.variety larger than the preceding; length 
eighteen inches; bill two inches long the bafe, and moft 
part of the under mandible, yellow ; the reft of the length 
black; bare part on the fore-head yellow ; the head and 
neck are blackifti ; the upper parts of the body and wings 
chefnut; breaft, belly, and fides, dull afti-colour, edged 
with white ; lower belly and vent white ; the thighs aftt- 
colour, crolfed with indiftinft lines of white ; tail round¬ 
ed in fliape; the colour chefnut, except the two outer 
feathers, which are white ; legs green. The female dif¬ 
fers only in being paler in colour. 
2. Fulica chloropus, the common gallinule, water- 
hen, or ,nioor-hen : front tawny, bracelets red, body 
black ; is comprefted at the fides, bill of a limilar form 
to that of the rail, but fhorter ; in tliis refpeft it is liker 
the gallinaceous tiibe; its head too is bare, and covered 
with a thick membrane ; a charafter of w hich veftiges 
may be found in certain fpecies of rails. It flies likewife
