shading off into yellowish upon the edges of the man- 
dibles, and the base of the lower; feet and chnvs 
slender, and of a pale yellowish horn-colour; claws 
pointed, rather bent in, and of a pale blackish horn- 
colour. 
The bird marked by M. Verreaux $ , ? No. 23G53, 
is smaller than the male, but does not differ from it 
in plumage essentially, except in the absence of russet 
on the throat, the more uniform greyish white, and 
the fewer spots of the inferior parts. The colours are 
altogether less clear. 
My figure of the egg is taken from IMiddendorff. 
The bird has been figured in Naumann’s Appendix.
