192.— AZARAS EAGLE 



Le Faucon blanc, Voy, d'Azara, iii. No. 36; 



LENGTH ISinches ; breadth 34. Bill black ; cere yellow ; 

 head and under parts of the body white ; round the eye a black 

 patch ; body and wings bluish, but the lesser wing coverts, near the 

 body, are black; tail hollowed out at the end, the two middle 

 feathers being five lines shorter than the rest, yet the exterior is seven 

 lines shorter than that adjoining, making the shape somewhat forked, 

 or rather doubly rounded ; the two middle feathers are bluish, the 

 others white, but the shafts and tips incline to blue ; legs yellow. 



Inhabits South America. A pair of them found near the towns 

 of San Ignacio, Santa-rosa, and Bobi ; on the borders of the river 

 Paraguay, between Neembuca and Remolinos ; also about Brazil ; 

 said to have the manners of the Falcon, but more stout, and the gape 

 wider. This seems to have some affinity to the last described.
