O^^dlTHOLOgr. Book II. 



The other red The other ( which we believe to be the Male ) is lefs by near a third part ; for va- 

 ftribed. dC " ri etv of colours almoft the fame with the former, and thofein the fame parts, lave 

 that ( as we hinted alio before ) the red colour in this is deeper and more evident ; 

 Like wife the lame coloured Membrane as in the former [I fuppofe he means that about 

 the Eyes. ] Thofe parts alfo which in the former are coloured with a dark cinere- 

 ous, in this are altogether black 5 viz. the upper fide of the Wings, the Head, Back, 

 and Tail. Yet may we take notice of fome marks peculiar to this, wherein it differs 

 from the other. For the Bill in this is wholly blue, excepting a fraaH yellow mem- 

 brane covering theNofthrils, having uneven borders, as it were ferrate. The Chin 

 or beginning of the Throat in this is of a little paler red, lomething inclining to cine- 

 reous, but notmarked with any fpot as in the former. The interiour flag-feathers of 

 the Wings are white, only crofled at due intervals with many tranfverfe brown marks: 

 The reft of the upper fide of the Wings is of a very deep fulvous colour, like red 

 Oker. The upper fide of the Tail is alio adorned with a double variety of tranfverfe 

 fpots, to wit, white and aih-coloured inclining to blue, alternately difpofed. The 

 Feet and Legs are of a more dilute yellow, or Wax colour. 



Both came out of the Eaft-Indies. 



What is delivered by Albertus and others concerning the blue-footed Falcon and ba- 

 ftard Falcon I omit, as being only general and uncertain 3 referring the curious, and 

 thofe that defire to know fuch things, to the Authors themfelves, or to Aldrovandm, 

 for fatisfaction. 



We have a fort of baftard Hawk common enough among us, called the Boccarel, 

 and its Tarcel the Beccaret.

§: xir. 



The Crejied Indian Falcon. 



THis Bird brought out of the Eaft-Indies we faw in the Royal Aviary in St.James 

 Park near Weftminfier, and thus defcribdd it. For bignefs it was not much 

 inferiour to a Gofiawk,: The Head flat, black, copped, the Creft hanging down back- 

 ward from the hind part of the head, like a Lapwings, but forked. The Neck red. 

 The Breaft and Belly were parti-coloured of black and white, the alternate crofs 

 lines being very bright and fair. The hides of the Eyes yellow. The Beak of a 

 deep or dark blue, almoft black, efpecially towards the point 5 for the Bafe was co- 

 vered with a yellow Membrane. The Legs feathered down to the Feet : The Feet 

 yellow 5 the Talons of a dark black. The lefTer rows of Wing-feathers had whitilh 

 edges. The Train was varied with tranfverfe fpaces or beds of black and cinereous 

 alternately. The reft of the feathers were black. 



§. XIII. 



* The Lanner^whoje Tar eel is called the Lanneret. 



Bellonius his defcription of it. 



THe Lanner is lefs than the Gentile Falcon, adorned with fair feathers, and in that 

 refpect. more beautiful than the Sacre. The moft fure and undoubted notes 

 whereby one may diKmguitti a Lanner from other Hawks are thefe$ That it have blue 

 The colour of Beak, Legs, and Feet: The anteriour or Breaft-feathers parti- coloured of black and 

 th Fe«, ak,and white > the black marks [or lines] not crofting the feathers, but drawn long- ways 

 down the middle of them, contrary to what they are in Falcons. The feathers of the 

 back are not much variegated, as neither thofe of the Wings or Tail, in the upper or 

 external part. And if perchance there be any fpots feen in thefe, they are finall, 

 round, and whitifh. But to one that (hall view the lower or under fide of the Wings 

 extended there will appear marks of a different figure from thofe of other Rapacious 

 Birds: For they are round, and like little pieces of money, difperfed through the 

 Superficies: Although, aswefaid, the feathers of the Breaft, and forepart of the bo- 

 dy are varied withfpots drawn downwards in length, and fituate on their edges. It 

 hath a thick and fhort Neck, and a like Bill. The Male or Lanneret is of a lefTer bo- 

 dy, but almoft the fame colour of the feathers. Both Male and Female have fhorter 

 Legs than the reft of the Falcons.
