The adult female agrees perfect!}- with our specimens from Tenimber, Banda, 

 and Dammer, while the male differs from our single male (from Banda) in having 

 only the jugular region vinous, the lower breast and alxlomen as well as the thighs 

 white, with barely a tinge of vinous and an indication of bars on the sides of the 

 abdomen. Whether this is an individual character, or peculiar to all Bal)bor 

 oxamjdes, cannot be guessed without more material. Possibly both nlbiri'iitris 

 from the Key Islands and Manggoer and polioiiotim may eventually be looke<l upon 

 as subs]iecies of A. torqtiatiis, but it reijnires more time than I can at present ad'ord 

 to study the relations of these forms at full length.

Cf. Nop. Znol. 1904. p. 190. 



The Kestrel of the South-'Westeni Islands is 7'. m. ocridrntalis, and the 

 specimens, four in all, sent from Babber agree with those from Kisser, Letti, and 

 Moa, showing no approach to the darker T. m. moluccensis (Nos. 0032, 0819, 0827, 

 0911).

 bnnters obtained 1 c?, 2 ? ? at Tepa, 24, 29. viii., and 1. ix. 1905 (Nos. 6735,

Cf. Nor. Zool. 1904. p. 100, where I recorded a young female from Wetter as 

 F. jiereijiimis melanogenys'. I am now convinced that this is rather F. /^. c/v/^'.s// 

 than /'. p. melanogenys. 



The Falcon from Babber is a very interesting specimen. It agrees with (he 

 specimens of F. ernesti from Borneo, N.W. Luzon, New Guinea and Mallikolh;
