54 LITTLE RED-BILLED HAWK. 



with white. Tail coverts (upper and lower) white; tail 

 quill feathers white, with three or four broad dark 

 hair brown transverse bars on each feather. 



According to Swainson, the cere, with basal half of 

 bill and legs, are of a bright red. 



In the young bird the under parts are more tinged 

 with rufous. 



I have preferred Swainson's English designation of 

 this bird to that of Latham, as we have already a 

 "Red-footed Falcon" in the British lists. 



This bird is not figured in Gould's "Birds of 

 Europe." 



Our figure of this bird is from a beautiful drawing 

 with which we have been favoured by Mr. Reeve, the 

 Curator of the Norwich Museum. It is an adult male 

 from South Africa, and about half the natural size. 

 It forms one of the magnificent collection of Falconidce 

 in the Norwich Museum.
