The characters sunilar to those of the former genus, except that the Tarsi are very long, strong, and 
covered in front with large scales, those near the toes being hexagonal. Toes short, thick ; the inner toe 
rather shorter than the outer, both united at the base, especially that of the outer ; the hind toe long 
and strong ; the claws moderate, curved, and acute. 
This species inhabits the continent of Africa, and is usually seen on the ground, busily engaged in searching it for 
the large beetles which constitute the cliief portion of its food. It is very active in leaping along the gi-ound, and flies 
well and to a great distance at a time. The nest is said to be made in large trees ; it is very large, and covered as in 
the magpie's, with an entrance on one side.
