CLARK’S CROW. 
181 
vent white; claws black, large, and hooked, particularly the 
middle and hind-claw; legs also black; bill a dark horn colour; 
iris of the eye unknown. 
In the state of Georgia, and several parts of the Mississippi Ter- 
ritory, I discovered a Crow,* not hitherto taken notice of by natu- 
ralists, rather larger than the present species; but much resembling 
it in the form and length of its wings, in its tail, and particularly 
its claws. This bird is a constant attendant along the borders of 
streams and stagnating ponds, feeding on small fish and lizards, 
which I have many times seen him seize as he swept along the 
surface. A well preserved specimen of this bird was presented 
to Mr. Peale, and is now in his Museum. It is highly probable 
that, with these external resemblances, the habits of both may 
be nearly alike. 
* The Crow above alluded to is the Fish-Crow. See the next article.
