A snako E.iiiing r5iro.

The Australian, also called Jardine's harrier, is 2 serpent killer of no mean ability and is endowed by nature with legs of considerable length covered with strong yellow scales absolutely impervious to any ophidian tooth. Although it does not prey exclusively on snakes, but also kills and devours frogs, newts and lizards the harrier is of very great service in its na- tive country, which contains many species of deadly snakes, which it searches for on the wing, hawking at no great distance from the ground over the places they ire quent and snatching them up in one of it's powerful feet, always taking caro to grasp the reptile by the neck, then flying upward to great height and letting it fall, to be killed on the hard surface of the earth or on a stone, if thore should hap pen to be large ono in the neighhorhood.
 I must confess, however, to a slight amount of incredulity in respect of the snake killing prowess of this very hand some hawk for it chiefly frequents marshy ground and is more likely to meet with frogs in such a situation than with ser pents, which, as rule, at least in Austra- lia, frequent tho hottest and driest places they can find. Still as the reptiles, or at least some of them, seek the water when they are changing their skins, at which time their sight is dimmer than usual it may be that the antipodean marsh harrier does fall in with snake occasionally in the moist places it chiefly affects and makes short work of the deadly reptile.- Pail Mall Magazine
