Descrip. 



**TpHIS fpecies weighs feven pounds : the length 

 A is three feet one inch ; the breadth fix feet 

 two inches. The bill is fix inches long, ftrait al- 

 moft to the point, where it inclines down - y and 

 the fides are irregularly jagged, that it may hold 

 its prey with more fecurity : about an inch from 

 the bafe of the upper mandible is a fharp pro- 

 cefs pointing forward*, it has no noftrils ; but in 

 their place a long furrow, that reaches almoft to 

 the end of the bill : the whole is of a dirty white, 

 tinged with afh color. The tongue is very fmall, 

 and placed low in the mouth : a naked fkin of a 

 fine blue furrounds the eyes, which are of a pale 

 yellow, and are full of vivacity : this bird is re- 

 markable for the quicknefs of its fight : Martin 

 tells us that Solan is derived from an IriJJj word 

 expreftive of that quality.
