CuassIlL HONEY BUZZARD. 
dull brown color, marked with three broad dufky 
bars; between each of which are two or three of 
the fame color, but narrower: the legs are fhort, 
ftrong, and thick: the claws large and black. 
After the publication of the folto Zoology, Mr. 
Plymly favored us with a variety of this fpecies, 
engraved in the additional plates, fuppofed to be 
a female, being fhot on the neft: it was entirely of 
a deep brown color, but had much the fame 
marks on the wings and tail as the male; and 
the head was tinged with afh color. There were 
two eges in the neft, blotched over with two reds 
fomething darker than thofe of the keftril; though 
Mr. Willughby fays they are of a different color: 
that naturalift informs us, that this bird builds its 
neft with fmall twigs, which it covers with wool; 
that its eggs are cinereous, marked with darker 
fpots: as he found the combs of wafps in the nett, 
he gave this {pecies the name of the honey-buzzard: 
he adds, that it feeds on the erucze of thofe in- 
fects, on frogs, lizards, &¢. and that it runs very 
{wiftly like a hen.
