This is common throughout Africa, efpecially in Caffraria and 
Grand Namaquas ; called at the Cape Kuykendief, which alfo is the 
name the Dutch give the common Kife. It builds both in trees and 
rocks, lays four eggs, fpotted with rufous: the young have the end 
of the tail nearly even, which alfo takes place with the European 
fpecies, and Mr. Levaillant fuppofes the Black Kite* to be no other 
than a young bird. This is a very bold {pecies.

IZE of the Hobdy: the bill is horn colour, covered at the bafe 
with a deep yellow cere: the legs are alfo yellow: the head and 
neck are dufky to appearance; but the bafes of the feathers are 
white: the upper parts of the body and wings are rufous and black, _ 
irregularly mixed: the greater quills dufky; the fecondaries the 
fame, outwardly rufous: the tail is even at the end, black, having. 
a narrow band of white about the middle of it, which according to 
the figure, feems compofed of white fpots; the very tip alfo white: 
all the under parts are pale rufous, croffed. with dark markings: 
thighs the fame, but not feathered beyond the knees: this differs 
from the Buzzaret, in not having the quills reach beyond one-third 
of the tail, whereas in the Buzzaret the wings and tail are equal: the 
bill is by much more broad and fhort than in that bird. 
Inhabits Cayenne, and feems in many things greatly allied to my 
Spotted-tailed Hobby +. :
