HIS is about one-third as big as the Martial Eagle, being fmaller 
in fize than moft eagles, and more elongated: the plumage 
is white, foft, and fpotted with black brown: the tail barred with 
black ; but the female is more mixed with brownifh yellow, efpe- 
cially on the wing coverts: the male has the feathers on the hind 
head elongated into a creft, in which the female is not deficient, 
though confiderably fmaller; but in bulk, fhe exceeds the male by 
one-third: the irides and legs are yellow: the bill is pale; the claws 
black: the tail is rather long, and the wings reach about one half 
way thereon. 
It flies well, and its chief prey is wood pigeon, from which it 
firft tears the feathers ; »it frequents forefts, and prefers the largefl trees: 
it likewife feeds on a fmall {pecies of antelope, called by the Hottentots 
Nometjes. Its cry confifts of feveral fiarp founds, quickly repeated, 
fomewhat fimilar.to Cri-qui-qui-qui-qui, and when perched ona tree, 
will fpend whole hours in repeating this, though in a tone of voice 
feemingly weak in proportion to the fize of the bird: it builds on 
high trees: the female lays two white eggs, about as big as thofe of 
a turkey, but more round: the male and female fit by turns. It 
has only been found in the country of the Hottniquas.
