'■ Mr. Eidgway applies to this Hawk the specific name " siqjercil/ostia," but at the 

 same time explains, very clearly, that neither the description given by Linnaeus of 

 his " Falco superciliosv.s" nor that by Latham of his ^' Falco tinus'' (the name used by 

 Mr. Sharpe) agrees accurately with the present species, and that it is therefore safest 

 to have recourse to Vieillot's specific name " suhniger" which I have here adopted. 



Mr. Ridgway refers this and the succeeding species to the "subgenus Hieraspizias;" 

 but all others which I have included in Accipiter and Cooperastur he comprises under 

 the generic term " Nisus."
