Descrip. npHIS fpecies weighs feven pounds : the length 

 * is three feet one inch; the breadth fix feet 

 two inches. The bill is fix inches long, {trait al- 

 moft to the point, where it inclines down ^ and 

 the fides are irregularly jagged, that it may hold 

 its prey with more fecurity : about an inch from 

 the bafe of the upper mandible is a fliarp pro- 

 cefs pointing forward ; it has no noftrils -, but in 

 their place a long furrow, that reaches almoft to 

 the end of the bill : the whole is of a dirty white, 

 tinged with am color. The tongue is very final], 

 and placed low in the mouth : a naked fldn of a 

 fine blue furrounds the eyes, which are of a pale 

 yellow, and are full of vivacity : this bird is re- 

 markable for the quicknefs of its fight: Martin 

 tells us that Solan is derived from an Irijh word 

 expreflive of that quality. '
