Tres quoque pedes; sed tertium prope anum enascentem habebat haec
Gallina toto fere corpore flava. Alae
eius, et dorsum fuscis ubique maculis conspergebantur. Fuscae
etiam a collo quaedam pennae dependebant super alarum principia. Cauda
denique tota fusca. Caetera
lutea. |
This
hen who was buff in almost the whole body was likewise three-clawed,
but the third claw was growing out near the anus. Her wings and back
were everywhere sprinkled with dark spots. Also from her neck some
dark feathers were hanging down above the junction of the wings.
Finally the tail was entirely dark. The remaining parts were yellow. |
Gallina
tripes cum hordeo. |
