Skel.l 



^ Here figured as "the King of the Vultures." 



^ One of these specimens is the nestling figured in the 'Ibis' for ISfiO, pi. 9. Mr. 

 Sharpe includes this species in the genus Bhinogryj^hus ; but I think it may be admitted 

 as generically distinct, especially as having fourteen rectrices, a peculiarity first noticed 

 by Audubon. Mr. Ridgway, in a recent letter, writes "this species is so nearly 

 extinct that we have been trying unsuccessfully for years to get additional specimens ; " 

 he attributes this to the " wholesale use of poison for the destruction of wolves, bears, 

 &c."
