whitilh on the pofterior margin: tail black, with two broad
paler bands, and a cinereous tip : legs luteous: claws black.
Inhabits Surinam.— A fpecimen I received from Cayenne was
much fmaller than Linnetus mentions, though it anfwereij to his
defeription ; fo we may fuppofe it to be the male, of which he,
perhaps, deferibes the female j and at firft call; of the eye puts
one in mind greatly of the male Sparrow Hawk, being much of
the fame make and proportions.

GREAT-BILLED
F.
r f 'H I S fpecies exceeds the Sparrow Hawk a little in fize. The
bill is longer and thicker than in that bird, and of a black
colour: the cere is yellow: iris orange: the general colour of
the plumage brown above; the feathers edged with ferruginous
brown : on the fore parts, as far as the breaft, the colour is the
fame, but has a greater portion of the ferruginous mixture : the
belly, thighs, and vent are white, marked with numerous narrow
ferruginous ftris : the tail is banded black and white: legs yellow
: claws black: the legs are Ihorter than in the Sparrow Hawk.
H M. de Buffon is the firft who has mentioned this bird, and
informs us that it inhabits Cayenne. He calls it the Great-billed
Sparrow Hawk; the firft term, as having the bill larger in proportion
; and the laft,. as being in figure more like that bird than
any other.
