182 Mr. Vicors’s and Dr. Honsrizrp's Description of the 
Rostrum pedesque pallidè plumbei. Caput, collum, pectusque 
lineis latis brunneis notata. Abdomen fasciis latis brun- 
neis. notatum. Remiges internè rufo-marginatæ,. obscure 
fusco-fasciatæ : subtus pallidiores, ad apicem fuscæ, brun- 
neo-fasciatæ. Rectrices brunneæ, interne rufo-marginatæ ; 
subtus pallidiores, fasciis plurimis fusco-brunneis instructæ. 
Longitudo corporis, 19; ale a carpo ad remigem quartam, 
12; caude, 10; mandibule superioris, 1, inferioris, 4 ; 
tarsi, 31. 
This species bears a great resemblance to both the last in. 
its colours and the general distribution of them; and we have 
had some doubt as to our bird being the young of one of them. 
But we consider that the fascie on the abdomen, which are 
broader and less frequent than those on the same part in Ast. 
fasciatus, form a sufficient mark of distinction between the two 
species; while its greater size and stronger tarsi equally sepa- 
rate it from Ast. radiatus. The tarsi of this latter species are, 
comparatively speaking, slender, and bring it near the group of 
Accipitres.

is a bold bird, and makes great havoc among chickens. I once
