LIST OF DIURXAL BIRDS OF TRET. 



65 



' The birds figured by Eiippell on his pi. 17 under the name of 'Buteo hydrophilus" 

 appear to be immature specimens of B. augur. 



^ In my Notes, above referred to, I adopted for this and the two preceding species 

 Sundevali's subgeneric appellation of FteroUdes; but I have not done so in this 

 list, as, after many attempts, I have found myself unable to arrange to my own satis- 

 faction a subgeneric division of the species which I have here placed together in the 

 genus Bideo: at the same time I am very sensible that this aggregation of species com- 

 prises several more or less distinct natural groups, which might be appropriately repre- 

 sented by subgeneric divisions ; as to two of these, see my note in the ' Ibis ' for 1876, 

 p. 76. 



^ Levaillant calls this Buzzard "Le Rounoir." 



■* One of these specimens is a nearly complete albino, jDresented by Mr. Edward 

 Newton, who obtained it in Jamaica. 



5 In my notes on this species I have given my authority for using the specific name 

 of calurus rather than that of nwufanus adopted by Mr. Sharpe.
