game, also rats, lizards, snakes, and insects ; occasionally also pounce 
on an unwary bird, and in fact feed upon almost any kind of food, 
living or dead, which, however, they obtain perhaps, less by their 
own industry than by robbing other birds, kites, falcons, and other 
birds of prey. Erom Mr. Elliot's ' Notes ' I extract the following : 
' The Wokhab is very troublesome in hawking after the sun 
becomes hot, mistaking the jesses for some kind of prey, and 
pouncing on the falcon to seize it. I have once or twice nearly 
lost Shaheens in consequence, they flying to great distances from 
fear of the "Wokhab.' A specimen I possessed alive, was not very 
particular as to its food. It frequently snatched morsels from a 
Grolden Eagle I kept with it, to which the latter in general quietly 
submitted ; it is a very noisy bird, frequently uttering a shrill scream, 
and has a great share of curiosity, walking up to, and carefully and 
thoroughly examining every new comer I place in the same apart- 
ment. It is apparently a very easily domesticated bird, and perhaps 
might be taught to hunt hares, &c." — (Jerd., Madr. Journ. L. S.
