8 VULTURE. 



3— WHITE-WINGED. 



LENGTH, three feet; bill, black; irides, brown; head and neck, 

 hare, and the colour of raw iSesh ; round the eye, and back part of 

 tlie head, red brown, and downy. The plumage, in general, dusky 

 black ; some of the larger wing coverts, or second quills, white, with 

 black ends, giving the appearance, when the wings are closed, 

 of a white rump — the second quills otherwise brown, with black 

 ends; greater quills and tail, black; on the breast, bare and white ; 

 in the middle of it, a callous brown space, surrounded with red at 

 the base — before the thighs, a second, much the same in appearance ; 

 tlie thigh feathers hang over the joint ; legs, dusky red. 



Native place, uncertain. It seems to approach both to the 

 Condur and Californian species, but how tar allied to either, must 

 rest on future observation^ 



4.— WHITE-RUiAIPED. 



SIZE, uncertain; bill, moderately hooked and black; cere, and 

 the base of the under mandible, dull oker colour ; sides of the head, 

 round the eye, bare and red ; chin and throat the same. Plumage, 

 wholly deep brown black, except tlie upper tail coverts, which are in 

 great part white ; legs, stout and yellow ; claws, black and bent ; 

 the tail pretty long ; and the wings, when closed, reach to about 

 the middle of it. 



The above is described from the collection of drawings, in the 

 possession of John Dent, Esq. but w ithout any account annexed, nor 

 are we certain it is not allied to the preceding.
