It is now n.aily (wn.ty years since the last \'(.linne, or S.oon.l Supplement to the St,nopsis of liirds, Mas puhhshed; and it is satis- ♦aetory to observe the oidal.ly arisen in thai >^.>rk, and were tempted, at the same time, to c.unmit to paper, in (his work, as it were anew, and s<» to blend the old with the new matter, as t»» ui\e the observations and adf many years at one view. Moreover, had the ]>ublishinu any further Su])pleinents been res<»lved «>n, >\e are constitiine*! to say, that many of the possessors of the tirst Se\en Volumes wcndd have had cause of complaint, from there Iiaviuju; been a confineer of Birds, from New-Holland, not before described. * A little time prior to tlit- puMicatioii i>f the Second Suppleineut, on fiiidiiij; it »«n iiu'onvt'iiit'iit to confer witli my Uooksellers so often ns I liail l)een accustomed to do, from the 5,'reat distance I then hved from London, 1 Hf;reeinee tiie piildication of my first Supplement, 1 furnished it to them, to he printed at their own cost ; hut not lonij after, 1 learned, to my surprise, that instead of iVMt, tl. numlier of i opic- printed of the former Volumes, only 250 were struck oH', Wliat enerty, it was not in my power to prevent. •» >.»w.». I PREFACE. \\\ It is very uiifortiiuatti for the promotion of Natural History, that s(* many and \arions Systems in Ornitlioloify have of late years been atlfuipted, and of course each builder of a new one flatters himsell' that he has done senice to science, by bringing the productittns of' nature under soiue restrictions; but the intinite variety and nndtitude of wUUU it consists, will not be so fettered; and how far the clahorately nudtiplying of Genera will truly answer the end of thr Naturalist, m«' have yet to learn. In respect to ourselves, having in the Synopsis t'ornied a plan, which has been in general understood, atid not disa|)proved of, it behoves us to continue the same arrange- ment, as near as may be, in the present publication. AVe cannot «»bject to those who come after us actinu: accordinu,- to their own ideas, Init hope, that though at present they dit^^r widely one Jroru the other, each preferring his own method, they may unite in sentiment, and togetltci form one system, on such a basis as to be a standard for future generations. In a work like the present, the reader may expect to tind a full account of the nature of the feathered creation ; but this has been already so sufficiently done to our hands by others, as to render it uiuiecessary to enlarge on it in this place. On this head we have (o recoiumeiul the i)erusal of the elaborate and elegant woiks of the Count de Buffon. This matter has also been most amply taken up by M. Daudin, in his Tiaite d'Ornithologie, and will fully merit the reader's attention. The late Mr. Pennant, likewise, has so scientifically treated the subject in his Genera of Birds, as to render any further observation on this point unnecessary: and I ought not to omit, that the Intro- VIII PREFACE. iltirfioii of CiiloiicI >ront;igii to his Oniitholotiival Dicflonari/, uuiy l)(' roiisiiltid with hoth piotit and satisractioii. |{(it ill r«s|i«Mt to s\steiii, if we exnt, tlure are but few wUo have taktii mure than a dtlv roii- sidered the first author of system, and it is to him that we are indebted for the valuable Oniitholotry of Francis \\'illuju:hby, Esq. whieh, tlionuh published as tar bark as the year 1()7J>, has not lost if^ eeleliiity; but iVom that time <>rnitholores<. From heuee we are naturally led to the name of the e\er to be remendieivd r.innaiis, who not only lias doseante«l lar;;«'ly on llinls, but, at one view, drawn to..,.tlier, as it were, all nature* and her productions, into his Si/s/eiiiu »\V//w/«, niul his nnthod, as far a^ relat(?s to our subject, has served as u basis, to (he present day. There is one thiuir, however, which has appeared uiuucouuti.'de. and ill whieh he ditlers from Hay. The latter separated all birds into (wo uraiid divisions; the one, those which fre«pient laiul — lh«- other, those which frecpieut water: but Liiiiueus «livides the land birds into two parts, placiii,!; the water birds between. This has e\er seemed to us unnatural, ami has, theretore, not been admitted in the present work. Me prefer Hay's oriijinal arran,u;ement, but adhere to the Jjiniaan (ienera, e\n« work the Secretary. Honey-eater, IJarbican, C'oneal, Malkoha, Knieu, Krotly, and Finfoot. To go further than this, uouhl, perhaps, entanuh- the reader, and too much load his memory, to little purpose; for Ihouuh it may he iihjeeted, that any particular hird may not answer exactly to the definition of a genus, in every min«ite pouit, yet, if it l)e found to coincide in most of the characters, it ought to he admitUd, rather than to form a new genus for it ; especially, if such bird is one Jdready known and nciived; otlierwise the reader will have to search for it muler a disguise, and not readily find what lie wants. It will ]ui oliser>ed, in many cases, that birds are sjiid to be in various cabinets, not now in existence— but it must be remembered, that at the time of tirst penning the Synopsis, and long after, the Leverian Museum was in full preservation. Many subjects also, referred to in the British Mu.seum, have since fallen into n, an-. I am happy to mention my long acquaintance and reciprocal friendship with the lat« Thomas Pennant, Esq. whose merit, as a Hritish Zoologist, stands mnivalled, an . I am under many obligations to Lord Stanley, not only for the loan of many fine specimens, at various times, but also tor his scientific observations; and it is well known, that his collection of preserved birds is not only numerous but select. I have been greatly assisted in my pursuit by the inspeyilson, need only to be known to be appreciated. Mr. M'Leay will also find his name mentioned with gratitude in various parts of this work, having submitted to my inspection many fine specimens of birds, chiefly from Berbice and its neigh- boinhood. I am indebted, likewise, to the late Earl of Seaforth, for the inspection of a large collection of preserved birds from Trinidad, as well as the gift of several, collected by himself, during his residence in that part of the world. I can by no means omit to mention of the kindnesses .shewn to nie by Chas. Wilkins, Esq. of the India Hou.se, in pointing out many rare subjects and «lrawings therein contained. And the world ingeneml must think itself particularly indebted, by the numerous specimens in Ornithology, as well as otlier branches PREFACE. Xill of Natural History, added thereto hy Dr. Ilorsfield, beiiii^ the result of several years residence in the Ishutd of Ja^a, more espe- cially as a great part of Ihein is entirely new. And lastly, I nnist apologi/e for taking up the reader's time so long on this subjeet, being induced thereto, Irom a 4le«ire of sliew- ing my remembrance of the assistance atibrded to me : and although I muy have omitted the names of many others in this place, ht them be assured, that I have not forgotten their attentions. In respect to the names of the authors whom I have consulted throughout this nndertaking, a Catalogue will be foimd of them at the end of the work. And lam pleased to observe the propensity in many of our late Voyagers, among other things, to pay attenti«)n to Natural History in the account of their travels, whether in the inclement Arctic Regions, or the hottest climes ; that they may con- timie to pursue such proofs of their desire to promote knowledge, is mv sincere wish. The scientific reader, doubtless, may point out many errors in this work : I haA o, ns far as in my j)ower, studied fidelity, and hoping that such mistakes as fall to the lot of every individual may be regarded with ctindonr and liberality, I remain, the Public's most devoted Servant, JOHN LATHAM. fViyCHESTF.R, SejjUmhtT.

'I'he Author, however, having been solicited by many of his subscribers to print a full and complete Index, he has acquiesced, having no doubt of its utility, particularly to the less informed Ornithologist. Having also consulted his friends, whether it would be preferable tfi give a general Index of the whole, or to each Volume separately, he has learned, that the latter mode would be more convenient ; and indeed one advantage will accrue from this arrangement, as the printing has been so managed, as to enable the possessor of a copy ot the \york to place the Index at the end of its corresponding Volume when bound up, or to retain the whole together, as may best suit his inclination. One circumstance, however, ought not to be passed over, in respect to the Work in general. It has been before observed, that the errors are chietly those of the press, yet a few of the most material require notice, viz. \'oi,.

THIS is a most curious species, remarkable for the great length of its legs, which at first sight might induce one to think it belongeil to the Waders, ))ut the characters of the Vulture are so strongly marked, as to create much doubt in what class it ought to be placed.

Dr. Solaii- rrt the different synonyms recorded above, it appears that authors have been nmch at a loss where to place this bird, and although we have before ranked it with the Vulture, it seems rather to hold a a place between that and the Falcon genus. Dr. Shaw, as also Mr. Illiger, and Temmin<'k, are of opinion that it should form a .separate genus of itself, and the two latter have given it the Latin name of Gypogeranusf to this we can have no objection, well aware that it does not coincide exactly with either of the genera above-mentioned. * Etlw.

This genus of birds is so >vell known, tliat scarcely any person ill possession of one can be at a loss where to place it. 1'he only mistake likely lo happen, is the confounding it with the first genus, fur the reasons tiierein mentioned. The chief characteristics of the Falcon, iiulependent of a certain degree of nakedness abont the head and neck, seen in tlie Vulture, are the bill and claws, both of them being very hooked and sharp. The luxury of the Fah^on, for the most part, is to kill its own prey, and to eat it wliile fresh ; and both Ihis ami the Vulture often take in as much food as will last for many days. The food of birds of this genus is not always flesh ; miiiiv of the Falcons will eat iish, and some are content with snakes and reptiles, as will be noticed hereafter. The circumstjince of birds of the Falcon fienus, casting up at intervals, the indigestible part of their food, such as bones, feathers, hair, wool, &c. has been mentioned by all \\ liters on falcoiuy ; and falconers are so convinced of this discharge being salutary and necessary, that when they feed their Hanks with flesh, they intermiv pellets of wool, or cotton. Few birds \iivy more in the plumage according to age, which has been the occasion of nu)re species being enumerated than leally exist. It is observed, that every climate is furnished with them, not being confined, like the A'ulture, to the warmer regions. It is not known that the Falcon tribe ever unites into companies, and, excejit in the breeding season, seldom two are seen together, at least there are not many instances to the contrarv. Me have thought light to separate the species of this genus into divisions, according to the different countries they inhabit, at least as far as our kmjwledge of them has enabled us. We have likewise, for the most part, followed tlie names given by former describers, such as Eagle, F'alcon, Hawk, Kite, Buzzartl, Sec. by this means disturbing, as little as possible, the arrangement of older authors.

In addition, however, to our opinion of the two uiaking but one species, Mr. Beckstein observes, * that they do not come to their complete plumage till the fourth year, and alter that, they grow more white in proportion a.s they attain a greater age.f These birds are not uncommon in England, but seem to shift their quarters occasionally, no tloubt in quest of food, which is various — ^j'oung mbbits, and small quadrupeds, also li/ards ; are said also to suck eggs, and to destroy the nests of the smaller birds for that purpose. It makes a large nest of twigs, frequently on the ground, or in a thick bushy tree, and lays three or four eggs of a dirty white, about the size of those of a pheasaut. To comprise the histoiy of the two birds in question in as few words as possible, it appears to us, that in the first year both sexes are nearly alike, and similar to the female. The male, as it proceeds in age, by degrees obtains the blue-grey colour, but the female never \> holly so, although in the progress of yeai's it approaches therett» ; ill the mean time is capable of breetling, ami in course does so, long before the plumage is complete — hence the assertion of authors will be reconciled; some siiying that the t>vo sexes differ, the male being as before described, the female more or less rufous above, with a white rump, &c. Others aver, that both sexes differ but little in • Allf;. V. ,1. Vo'r.

It may by some be mistaken io. u variety, but M. 13echstein assures us, that it is a distinct species. 49._iyGurAN FALCON. FaU'-> vrgp^rtinus, Iiid. Orii. \. p. 40; Lin.'\. 1-29. Cm. Ltn. i. 282.

Inhabits various parts of Europe; seen at times in Hungary and Austria ; very common about the kingdom of Na})les, als«) in Sicily, Sardinia, and the south of Spain, especially among the mountainous and rocky parts; probably known at Gibraltar, as Mr. ^\ hite mentions a Kestril, nuich smaller than the common one, being n(»w and then seen there.

The cry consists of several sharp sounds, tpiickly repeateil, somewhat similar to cri-qni-qui-qui-(iui, and when perched on a tree, spending whole hours in repeating this, though in a tone of voice seemingly weak in proj)ortion to the size of the bird.

The bill and claws are black; legs and cere orange ; and the irides brown. The female is bigger by one-third, but does not differ from the male materially, exce[)t in being paler. This species is not unlike the Ilen-Harrier in colour, but inde- pendent of other points, in m hich it differs, there is no appearance of the ruff-like collar round the lower part of the head. It is found in Caffraria and the neighb«un'ing country, as Karrow and Camde- boo. In breeding time the male is remarkable for its song, which, like the Nightingale, it makes every morning and evening, and couunonly even the night through. It sings in a loud tone for more than a minute, and after a time begins anew ; during its song it is so regardless of itself, that any one may approach, but in the intervals of art of them makes a nest of twigs and moss, lined with feathers; lays three or four eggs, sometimes only two, which generally come to perfection, as the nest is rarely destroyed, from the idea the natives entertain of the utility of this species. .. p.,i. nand.'^. 162.

In another drawing I find a dusky patch on the sides of the head in which the eye is placed. From the above account we may suppose this bird to be subject to great variety of plumage. J I? i !l!

Inhabits Pennsylvania, frequenting- marshy places in the summer, feeding on small birds, frogs, snakes, and lizards. I received one of these from Jamaica, scarcely differing ; it was described to be a bold spirited bird, and that it would not hesitate to kill chickens, pigeons, &c. in the sight of any one. Edwards observes, that the tail is rather .shorter than in the Ring-tail, and Mr. Pennant hints, that the legs being stouter, ami shorter, make it distinct from that l)ird ; but in those which have come under onr inspection, the legs are not ditleient from those of the European IJing-tail, and it is probable that they are, in fact, reallv but one, and the same species. M. d'Azara found this in Paragnay, and about the river Plata, in South America ; but it is far from common there. i fnCH j Ins ' P 1 '1 9H'I i ' i', |} i ■oil ' ir'i 272 FALCON. 215— AMERICAN FALCOX.

Mr. Abbot speaks of it as common, and that it is the greatest enemy of all the Hawks to poultry, more especially in autumn. He observes, too, that at first sight it lias much the air of the Ringtail, ])nt the rump is not white; it goes by the name of Hen- Hawk, or Chicken-Hawk, about his neighbourhood.

Ui' I iUZ hill in this genus is (.rooked as in the last, but verj rartly l"urni«*hetl with a cere. Nostrils oblong, covered with bristly feathers. Head larue ; the usual opening of the ears very spacious. Eyes large ; tongue bifid. Toes placed three before and one behind, the outer one capable of being occasionally turned backwards. The external edge of one, or more, of the greater quills serruted in most of the species. The Owl is a no(,'turnal bird ; the greater part of them prey by niglit, or rather twilight, at which time many of the genus appear to ilistinguish objects best, for having by no means the faculty of perfect vision by day, it may be doubted whether they can see I tetter when the night is very dark, and it is more probable that it is • inly tor an hour in the evening and the ino •" ' g that they see clearly, tNLcept by moonlight, for in such tin . »ole nights they may le observed to hunt after prey without ceasing. Tlie want of sight is ill some meas\u"e compensated by their aickness of hearing, which their ample ears sufticientlv testifv. Some few of them, however, not only see well by day light, hut take their prey at that time, l)ut whether such have the faculty of >eeing by twilight is not mentione«l. It is observed, that in general, Falcons and Owls, and we believe, Vultures, bring up the indigestible part of their food, such as hairs, feathers, and the like, at intervals, in the shape of large roiuul pellets or balls, which are to be found every where in tlie neighbourhood of their haunts. We must, in thispl.ice, confess our suspicions, that more species are here recorded than really exist ; but such as are mentioned by ■r^i- |i 0>VI., 209 authors of respectability could not be otiierw ise tlian noticed, i)ot- withstandinff the reader mav hesitate concenrnu: their certaintv. Be this as it may, we think it nuich better fur the descriptions, unsatisfactory and imperfect as they are iu many instances, to stand as they do, till the identity of such specimens nii.v be li ^ter ascertained. The same circumstance will be observed in regard to the birds belonging to several other genera, for which the same apology must hohi good. We have taken every pains possible to elucidate the subject, as repeated instances will shew ; the rest must be left to tlie more successfid Ornithologist. We have divided the genus of Owl into two sections, ^iz. — Tliose which have two tufts of feathers, larger than the rest, on the top of the head; usually, though improperly, called ears— The other, in which the h'^adis destitute of them, being perfectlv smooth.

The tuft of feathers, or, as they are railed, ears, over each eye, form a conspicuous character ; they are formed by a range of several feathers longer than the rest, near the circumference of the aperture of the ears, but are not visible at all times, as in the Long-Eared Owl, being raised or depressed by the bird at pleasure, j)rincipally when (juiet and undisturbeil, and are by .10 means distinguishable from the rest at any other time. OWL. tm Tliis noble species is not uncommon in various parts of Europe, chiefly on the Continent, but has seAeral times been met with in this kingdom, certainly in Scotland, as well as in Yorkshire, Sussex? and Kent ; other places have Jjeen mentitjned to me, tliouuh not so well ascertained, nor have we learned whether it has yet bred here ; said to be not uncommon in the Orknies;* it, for the most part, inhabits ruined edifices, monntainous and cavernous places, or in- accessible rocks ; rarely seen on plains, or on trees ; preys chiefly on leverets, rabbits, moles, rats, and mice, sometimes on reptiles; swal- lowing the larger, by morsels, with the bones, and hair; the lesser ones whole ; and, after digesting the nutritious parts, emits the indiges- tible ones, in the shape of round pellets, which are often found in (juantity near its haunts. This circumstance we believe to be com- mon to all the genus. Is supposed to see better in the day than any other owl, as it is frequently oI)served preying on its game in lull day-light. Aldrovandus says, it provides so plentifully for its young, that a person living near the nest of one of them, may be supplied with some dainties, and yet leave enough, to satisfy the young birds. It is found in France, but less common there than in other places on the Continent, nor is it certain that it stays there through the year. The female lays two eggs, which are about the size of those of an hen, and white. Is found on the north summit of the rock of Gibraltar, but we are not told whether it is there a constant inha- bitant ; met with also in Ciermany, and indeed varions places on the old Continent, extending even to the Arctic regions ; is comm'ed to l>e paid to it in Oneeheow*, as also by the natives of the west side of New-Holland, 'I'he Owl is called, at the Frien. f Id. append. i w OWL. 3m ^A B — Biiho peilibu* nudis, J3ri». 1. 483. b. /d. 8vo, 141. .S/iaw'i Zoy/. vii. 214.

This Owl is every where common in the woods of England, and we believe throughout Europe, concealing itself during the day in tl I e thickest recesses, rarely apjieari ng in full light ; for although it can draw a veil, or nictitating membrane, over the eyes, it is perhaps not sufficient to exclude the light, which ren('.ers vision useless ; they breed in hollow trees, laying from two to four white eggs ; and have been known to make use of an old rabbit burrow for that purpose ; are ^ ery destructive to young hares as well as young pigeons, tliougli useful in destroying rats and mice. It is by some called Screech Owl, from its now and then approaching habitations, settbng clo.se to the windows, and hooting most disagreeably, so as to terrify weak minds, as if foreboding some dreadful event.

s coveretl with dusky white down, dotted with brown, quite to the toes. The length of this bird is 17in. and the breadth 2ft. according;- to Dr. Forster. It inhabits Hudson's l?av, and is there called Cal)eticucli, or Cabaducutch, and has two young- at a hatch ; the male is larger, the colours darker and more distinct than in iUv temale. Linmeus mentions it in the Faun.Snec. as a bird of Sweden, and quotes, in that work, the same plate of Frisc/i, as he iloes tor the uliila in the Sif stoma JSTaturo'. One of these, given to me by Mr. Hutchins, was named Poppa-rnckis-sue. He observes, that it is very common in the woods of Hudson's Bay ; makes the nest in March on trees, of sticks and grass, with a lining of feathers ; the eggs are white, and the young fly in June ; it is a bold binl, and freciuents the fires made by the natives in the night. ^50 OWL, A. — Strix fri'ti Iludsoiiis, tiris, i. 5'20.

This bird inhabits France, but is rare there in comparison to others of the genus, and frequents ruined edifices in pr'"**''rence to woods, where it is rarely found ; it makes the nest in the holes of rocks, old walls, &c.* in the most retired places, laying five eggs, spotted with wlyte, and a yellowish colour ; it sees very well in the day time, when it gives chace on the wing to swallows, and other small birds, though seldom is able to fake them ; it has better success with rats and mice, yet cannot swallow any of them whole, as the other Owls do; but, tearing them into morsels, eats the tlesh only ; it has now and then been met with in England, but this has not hap- pened more tlian four or five times to our knowledge, f Mr. A\'hite informed me, that it inhabits the cragged parts of Gibraltar Rock, and the ruins of the Moorish Castle in abundance, feeding on mice, leverets, and coleo|)tei'a, also fiesh of any kind ; but if brought up tame, and food given it, it moved in some dark corner to eat it ; it was not there observed to catch birds ; said to be common in Itussia, but not met with in Siberia. It inhabits India, as apj)ears from some drawings brought from thence ; but the ground-colour in these was a clay brown, much j)aler than the European one ; the white s})ots much the same ; and the tail crossed with three or four whitish bars. ^Ve suspect this to be the one known at Hindustan by the name of Lacshmc; Pecha, wiiich builds in trees; is noisy at night, but less so than others ; it lives on moths and other insects; observed to vary in size; that of Hudson's Lay is 8] in. long, 20 broad, and weighs 4;^ ozs. ; it lives • Scopnli says, it l)uil(li in chiinnies in Carniolii— perhaps it was the attempt to do this that cause, 'wo of tiicni to conie «h)wn two iliHerent cliiiuiiies in England, where they were taken, as mentioned hy Edwards— See hi» Birds, Vol.v, j). 228. t Shot in 1808 in the North of Devon, hy Mr. Coniyn»— Orn.

As to varieties, Buffon has mentioned one from St. Domingo, with less white on the throat, and brown bands on the breast, instead of longitudinal spots ; also another 'om Germany with black irides, and the whole plumage darker than common. M. Frisch has coloured his bird with tlie irides blue ; from hence we may infer, either that these birds differ much from each other, or that their short descriptions refer to some other kinds, to which may be added also A — Noctua minor, N.
