Gallus hic quadrupes prone erat ad ventrem usque castanei coloris,
supine ad uropygium usque lutei intercurrentibus pennis castaneis.
Alae albae, remigibus viridibus, a tergore prope caudam pennae
dependebant longae admodum, castaneae; cauda viridis et nigra, crista
duplex, minime crenata: pedes quatuor, quorum anteriores perfecti
erant et lutei, {anteriores} <posteriores> imperfecti et
pallidi. |
This
four-footed rooster with his face downwards was chestnut colored down
to the belly, with his face upwards was yellow with interposed
chestnut feathers. The wings were white with the remiges green, very
long chestnut feathers were hanging down from the back near the tail;
the tail was green and black, the comb was double only just serrated:
the feet were four, those on the front were perfect and yellow, those
behind imperfect and pale. |
