Peregrine Falcon, (Falco Peregrinus.) — For some time past, and more 

 particularly of a late, a Peregrine Falcon has infested the woods about 

 Carnaby, Boynton, and Brackendale, where it has done considerable injury 

 by killing rabbits, hares, one or more pheasants, and many other birds. 

 It was shot early on Saturday morning last, in Brackendale wood, by Mr. 

 Charles Thompson, gamekeeper to T. Prickett, Esq, This is a handsome, 

 full-grown, and beautifully-plum aged bird, weighing two pounds within half 

 an ounce. — Yorkshire Gazette, May 17th., 1856. 



TO THE EDITOR OF '^THR NATURALIST," 



Peregrine Falcon, (Falco Peregrinus.) — The reason I have contributed 

 these few lines to your most interesting journal is to state a fact about 

 the Peregrine Falcon, which I do not think is generally known. Many 

 authors state that this bird is so particular in its feeding, that it will 

 strike down several birds previous to fixing on its prey, and that it never 

 returns to its prey after once feeding on it. However the following cir- 

 cumstance will prove the contrary: — A fine specimen of the Peregrine 

 Falcon, a two-year-old female, was captured on the 17th, of March, 1854, 

 under the following circumstances, at Glenogle, near Loch Earn Head, 

 Perthshire: — Mr, Mc. Nab, the keeper, was taking his rounds on the hills
