LIST OF DIURNAL BIRDS OF PREY. 



^ This species is referred by Mr. Sharpe and by the authors of 'Exotic Ornithology' 

 to the genus Astnrina, as to which see Appendix H. It is figured in the ' Voyage de 

 rUranie' under the title of " Falco leiicorrhons." 



^ The several species of the genus Eiqiornis are included by Mr. Sharpe in that of 

 Asfurina, as also by the authors of ' Exotic Ornithology.' 



^ Here figured under the designation of " L'Epervier a gros bee de Cayenne." 



* The northern race for which Mr. Ridgway has proposed the title of "var. ^meo- 

 cauda " {vide ' Catalogue of Falconidte in Boston Museum,' p. 48) seems to me to merge 

 so gradually into E. nificauda that I am not able satisfactorily to separate them, 

 though in my Notes I have endeavoured to do so. 



* One of these specimens is J. and E. Verreaux's type of this species. 



* Mr. Ridgway informs me that this newly described species is very distinct ; it is a 

 native of Haiti.
