evinces in its author a more extensive and accurate acquaint- 
ance with the birds of Europe, than any other that has been 
hitherto published. 
Genus I. Farco. 
1. F. Islandicus (Jerfalcon). 
Several years since, a beautiful specimen of the Jerfalcon was 
shot on Bungay common ; and being only slightly wounded in 
the pinion, it lived for some time in the possession of John 
Cooper, Esq. of that place. | | 
2. F. peregrinus (Peregrine Falcon). 
. Mr. Hoy, of Higham in Suffolk, trapped two of these birds, 
and has seen others at that place. He catches them by fastening 
baited steel traps, covered with moss, on the top of a high tree, 
upon which he has observed them to be fond of perching. 
The Peregrine Falcon visits the warren at Beechamwell, on 
the estate of John Motteux, Esq., in autumn, and continues 
there during the winter. A pair of these birds bred many years 
successively in the cliffs at Hunstanton in N orfolk, though con- 
stantly deprived of their young, which were taken and trained 
to falconry by Mr. Downes of Gunton: but during the three 
last years they have ceased to build there. | 
3. F. Subbuteo (Hobby). 
4. F. Æsalon (Merlin). 
5. F. Tinnunculus (Kestril, Wind-hover, Hover Hawk). 
The stomach of a Kestril killed late in the year was filled with 
grubs. * | Loc |
