[316] pedibus subcaeruleis: paleis, si maris
paleis compares, longe minoribus, eadem istaec videretur, nisi cervix
lutesceret, et apicem in vertice gereret, et pedes omnino haberet
caeruleos, et caudam immaculatam.

with
bluish legs: the wattles, if compared to the wattles of the male, are
by far smaller, and her look would be identical to that of the hen
represented here below but for the yellowish neck, for having on the
head a pointed formation and for quite blue legs, and a tail without
stains.

Aliam
in hoc genere observavi, cui pedes prorsus erant caerulei, eodem modo,
ut praedicta, ex albo et nigro maculata, sed post carneam cristam,
aliam habet ex pennis albis instar Alaudae, et cervicem ex cinereo
lutescentem quae in praecedenti nigra est. Iconem {sequenti
pagina dabimus} <hac pagina damus>.

Among
this breed I observed another hen that had quite blue legs, as the
previous mottled of white and black, but at the back the comb she has
another crest made up by white feathers shaped like the crest of a
lark
- Alauda arvensis, and a yellow grayish nape which in the
previous hen was black. I give its picture in this page.
