THIS fpecies weighs four pounds and a quarter: Defc 

 the length is three feet one inch ; the breadth 

 fix feet two inches. The bill is fix inches long, ftrait 

 almoft to the point where it inclines down j 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 procefs pointing forward j 

 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 

 skin of a fine blue furrounds the eyes, which are of 

 a pale yellow, and are full of vivacity: this bird is 

 remarkable for the quicknefs of its fight ± Martin tells 

 us that Solan is derived from an Irijh word expreffive 

 of that quality,
