Flir. 73.—I, hinrt mnriMrc—I, TheOricou Vulture (!. The Fulvous Vulture (T. fuhun,Ciui.) is the most widely-difTused spe-cies, inhabiting the mountainous partsof the whole ancient continent. Itsbody surpasses in size that of a Swan[possibly in the insitance of ^ome fe-males. This bird has been erronr.ously stated to have fourteen tail-feathers.* Tlie ureater number of thegenus possess similar characters.] The Dusky Vulture (V. cinerem,Gm.)—As widely distributed as thepreceding [but less numerously], andstill larger: it frequently attacks liv-inganimals. [^his species exemplifiesthe subgenus Oifps of Savigny : hav-ii:g the beak more sharply pointed,the nostrils almost round, and thehead partially clothed with feathers.The Vultures generally, indeed, havethe head and nerk feathered whenyoung, like the Turkey and otherbirds which have bald heads in a stateof maturity : the immature V. Ango-lemis. Cm., is doubtfully figured byBennett as a species of Caracara (Po-Igborus? Iwpoteucos)
