88 Zoo Report. 



Altogether he is one of the most remarkal)]e objects to be seen 

 about the Antilles. 



Later, when we reached the South American Mainland, 

 we made the acquaintance of another bird fit to be mentioned 

 with these majestic aves, viz: — the Swallow-tailed Kite 

 (Elanoidcs furcaius). This feathered beauty, noted because of 

 its length of tail and wing, has a black body but a white head 

 and neck, the outstretched wings showing from below a broad, 

 pa])er- white band extending almost from one wing-tip, across 

 the l)ody, to a corresponding area on the opposite side. 



These markings, with the long, bifurcated tail, make a 

 splendid appearance as the bird goes sailing and soaring through 

 the blue.
