the Mouth an inch and half long. Above the Nofthrils and at the corners of the Jaw 

 grow black bridles reflected forward. 



From the hind part of the Head round the Ears to the Chin «ci ring or wreath of a coronet, 

 feathers ftandingup, having their middle dusky, and their edges ofareddifh white, 

 encompafles the head as it were a Crown. From this wreath hangs down a naked skin 

 covering the ears. The back is of a dark ferrugineous colour, the edges of the neck colour of the

 The Rump hath fome white feathers, marked in the middle along their (hafts with

The number of flag-feathers in each wing was twenty four, the exteriour webs The Ktmigtti 

 whereof v/ere of the lame colour with theback, theinteriour being variegated with wi E e e a . 

 tranfverfe black and white ft roaks alternately fituate. In the exteriour and greater then, 

 feathers the white ftroaksare bigger and broader 5 in thein teriour and leflerthe 

 black: In the inmoftthj whole web is dusky, the white by degrees growing darker 

 and darker, till at laft it comes to be wholly brown or dusky. The tips of the exte- 

 riour feathers in the fecondroware white, Of the interiour red 3 the reft of them be- 

 ing of the fame colour with the back. 



The Tail is ten Inches long, made up of twelve feathers : The tips whereof are of a The Train, 

 reddifh aftVcolour 5 to which fiicceed alternately red and black bars, the black being 

 much the broader. In the two middle feathers the red doth altogether difappear, the 

 feathers being wholly black. 



A yellow skin covers the upper Chap, reaching from the root of the Bill beyond The Sea-, 

 the Nofthrils: Elfethe Bill is* black, hooked, and prominent. The lower Mandible The Beak* 

 ftreight. The Mouth wide when gaping. In the Palate is a Cavity equal to the Palate, 

 Tongue. The Tongue broad, fkfhy, and undivided : Both Tongue and Palate Tongue,

It hath a great Craw : Small, round, tumid, blind Guts: A large Gorge, in that The entrails; 

 we opened full of feathers and bones of birds : A Gall joy ned to the Liver. Its Eggs E ggs>

The Male or Tarcel of this kind differs very much from the defcribed, not only in The defcripa- 

 magnitude,but alfo in colour. It is called in Englifo the Henharrpw or Henharrier. The on , of 5 1 he . T , ai> 

 head, neck, and back are of an Afh-colour, like\hat of a Ring-dove. The long Henharrier. 

 feathers growing on the fhoulders are fomewhat dusky. The Rump not fo white as 

 in the Female. Tjie Breaft white, with fome tranfverfe dusky fpots? sThe two mid- 

 dle feathers of the Tail cinereous, from the middle to the outmoft the colour is more 

 languid and dilute,inclining to white 3 all but the middle ones marked with tranfverfe 

 blackifh bars. The exteriour flag-feathers of the Wings are black, the tips being 

 afh-coloured, and the bottoms white. The outfide of the reft is cinereous, only their 

 inner limbs or borders white. The covert feathers of the upper fide of the Wing* 

 cinereous, of the nether fide whiter the fhafts of the interiour being black* The 

 firft row of the covert feathers of trie infide of the Wing have tranlverfe'dusky fpots. 

 The Legs are long and very flender, beyond the proportion, of other Hawks. In '^ 

 other points it agrees for the moft part with the Female. We fuppofe this Bird may be \ % 

 xhePygargus o£ Bellonius. I fufpect that Aldrovandus makes of this 'Hawk differing 

 in Age or Sex two or three Species. The defcription of that carnivorous Bird he- 

 calls Palnmbo Jimilis agrees exactly to this : The defcription alfo of Lanarim in the 

 Fifaif Book, eleventh Chapter of his Ornithology anfwers in moft particulars : And 

 therefore we have taken the figure thereof for it, <
