74 HERON. 



Inhabits Africa, but is not a common species. One of them was 

 for some time tame in the Company's Gardens, at the Cape of Good 

 Hope, from which a drawing was taken, in the collection of Sir 

 Joseph Banks ; also, a complete specimen of the bird was in the 

 collection of Mr. Bullock.
