the turkey, in ornithology. The head is covered with spongy caruncles; and there is likewise a membranaceous longitudinal caruncle on the throat. There are three species, viz. 1. The gallipavo, or North-American turkey of Ray, has a caruncle both on the head and throat; and the breast of the male is bearded. He lives upon grain and insects. When the cock struts, he blows up his breast, spreads and erects his feathers, relaxes the caruncle on the forehead, and the naked parts of the face and neck become intensely red. 2. The criftata, or Brazilian pheasant of Ray, has an erect crest of feathers on the head, and violet-coloured temples: it has a caruncle on the throat, but none on the head. 3. The satyra, or horned pheasant of Edwards, has two blue horns behind the eyes, a red body spotted with black and white. It is a native of Bengal.
