RATHER larger than C. Europaeus, which it 

 somewhat resembles, except in having a single 

 feather springing out of the middle part of the 

 wing-coverts on each side, which is in length 

 about twenty inches : it is only webbed at the 

 tip for about five inches of its length ; this part is 

 very similar to the rest of the plumage in colour, 

 and is crossed with five dusky bars : the web on 

 the inside is more than one inch in breadth, but 

 on the outside not more than one quarter of an 

 inch : the rest of the feather towards the base for 

 about fourteen inches has only a few solitary 

 hairs towards the tip on the inside : the legs are 

 very small. Inhabits Sierra Leona.
