If the most strongly marked sub-race be taken, namely, the Improved English Pouter, this is perhaps the most distinct of all domesticated pigeons.

Grosses-gorges, or boulans, French.) _Oesophagus of great size, barely separated from the crop, often inflated. Body and legs elongated. Beak of moderate dimensions._ {138}
