54 LITTLE RED-BILLED HAWK. 
with white. Tail coverts (upper and lower) white; tail 
quill feathers white, with three or four broad dark 
hair brown transverse bars on each feather. 
According to Swainson, the cere, with basal half of 
bill and legs, are of a bright red. 
In the young bird the under parts are more tinged 
with rufous. 
I have preferred Swainson’s English designation of 
this bird, to that of Latham, as we have already a 
‘“‘Red-footed Falcon” in the British lists. 
This bird is not figured in Gould’s “Birds of 
Europe.” 
Our figure of this bird is from a beautiful drawing 
with which we have been favoured by Mr. Reeve, the 
Curator of the Norwich Museum. It is an adult male 
from South Africa, and about half the natural size. 
It forms one of the magnificent collection of Falconide 
in the Norwich Museum.
