SENEGAL JABIRU. 
coloured claws, shaped not unlike those of the 
human species. Inhabits New Holland.*’ 
The above is Latham’s description of this species, 
to which he subjoined the following : “ Among 
the drawings of Mr. Lambert is a representation 
of one, apparently the same, in which the skin 
beneath the lower mandible and throat is of a 
fine crimson, and said to be capable of great dis- 
tention : head and half the neck brownish black, 
with a variable green and copper gloss : between 
the beak and eye grey : the general colour of 
the plumage of the lower part of tlie neck, the 
body, and wings, is white, except on the shoulders, 
which appear blackish, with the same bronzed 
hue as the head and half the neck : the tail is 
black.” 
These birds are occasionally seen on the muddy 
banks of the harbour of Port Jackson, searching 
for fish, when tlie tide is out.
