TH IS Bird may be clafled with thofe of the Goofe
Kind, the Bill and Feet being like them; the Top
and back Part of the Head, Breaft, Belly, and Thighs
were of a pale yellowilh buff Colour, with a light Tincture
of redilh brown, here and there in Spots, excepting
a large Spot of redifh brown on the middle of the Breaft ;
the Bill was red, flat, and toothed like that of the Goofe ;

fhort and black: it was web-footed, its Legs very dong,
and bare above Knee,, both Legs and Feet of a red Colour.
Its Food was the fame with that of Geefe, eating
Grafs and Corn. My Lord Burlington was pleafed to
give me two of theie Birds, from one of which, 1 took
this Pourtray. The Difference between the Cock and
Hen could not be diftinguiflied, neither by the Colours or
Shape, but only by the Cock’s running to the Hen with
open Wings, clafping or embracing her round with them.
I could not find any other Name for them with the 1 oul-
terers, but that of Ganfer. This Bird comes the neareft to
Mr. IVilloughhy’s Gamho-Goofe, the Spurs in the Wings excited,
