Kite has been at fo great an height as to be fcarcely perceivable 
by the naked eye, we have known it to utter a hoarfe kind of 
bleat, which will readily lead the eye to the fpot ; at that 
time fliould a rabbit or any other animal to which it is 
partial (as food) be flirring, it clofes its wings, and falls with 
aftonifliing rapidity on its prey ; at the time h is falling it only 
fans the air with its tail, which but flightly impedes the ra- 
pidity of its defcent.
