Niffer ae Black Eagle, Bruce’s Trav. App. t. p. 159? 
IZE of the Golden Eagle, but has the bill very ftrong; the claws 
are moderate, and not greatly curved, in this approaching to the 
Vulture genus: the general colour is deep black ; but the head is 
cloathed with feathers: the wings when clofed, reach eight inches 
beyond the end of the tail; the end of which is ufually damaged from 
rubbing on the rocks on which it perches: the fhape of the tail is 
rounded, the outer feathers being much fhorter than the others: the 
legs are covered three-fourths ef the length with feathers, and are of 
a dirty yellow: the bill pale yellow, with a dufky blueifh bafe: 
irides chefnut brown. 
This fpecies inhabits Cafrariaz, but is rare, and feeds principally on 
dead carcafes, which caufes it to {mell horridly offenfive: from the 
length of wing, it rifes from the ground with difficulty : faid to build 
among the rocks; will attack fheep, and devour them on the {pot, 
except it has occafion to bring any part to its young, in which cafe 
it carries it in the claws; in this differing from the true Vulture, 
which difgorges the nutriment it fupplies to the young from the 
throat, The natives of the Cape of Good Hope cali it Stront Vogel, 
(dung-bird), or as Vogel (carrion bird).
