THE 0CELLATED TURKEY The wild species of turkey, known as the Ocellatcd or Honduras turkey, was originally a natlvo of Honduras ( and other parts of Central Amorlca. Some describe It as most beautiful In coloring, equal to the Inpeyan pheasant If not richer. The head and neck of this wild variety ace naked and no breast tuft is present. The caruncles of the head and neck differ dif-fer somewhat from those of ether tur-' keys. , Tho ground color of the plumage Is a a beautiful bronzc-grcen, banded with ' gold-bronze, blue and red, with some bands of brilliant black. ' It is to be deplored that this va ' riety can not bo bred successfully as ? a domestic fowl in northern climatos. The writer can not learn that It has jm ever been successfully bred outside of ,j Its natlvo heath. m
