" The importer thus describos the pair now referred to : * 'The cock is one of six fowls of my own importation, direct from" Canton, early in the present season. His color is quite dark, the pre- vailing shade of plumage being a rich, glossy, greenish black, on the breast, sides, and legs ; the hack...les, wings, back, and rnmp feathers are a bright red ; his legs are dark ; wattles, heavy; eye, very large; prominent comb, and very short tail. He is a splendid bird, not ten months old. His weight this day is ten and a quarter pounds. " ' The hen is a perfect match for the cock in color and general ap- pearance — dark plumage, (black, saving her neck-hackles,) of a very fine form, and one of the rarest birds I have ever yet seen.
