(Among the specimens of Otogyps auricularis (rectius Torgos trachdiotus !) 

 collected by A. E. Brehm near Khartum are probably the types of Otogyps 

 pennatus, but the specimens which are named pennatus on their labels do not 

 agree with the description. Otogyps pennatus Brelini is not a nomen nudum,, but 

 fully described, from specimen shot by A. E. Brehm near Khartum, in the 

 Allg. D. Naturh. Zeit. 1856. p. 2.)

 (1826) instead of Hal. Groenl. 1831.

Falco longipcs Xilsson. Orn. Svec. i. p. 18. pi. i. (1817 — Lapland; teste Boie, who examined 

 the type specimen), is a further synonym of Circaetus gallicus.
