' Mr. Gould, in his larger work here quoted, refers this species to the genus Buteo. 



^ Mr. K. H. Bennett here gives an interesting account of the habits of this very 

 scarce species, as observed by him in the vicinity of the Murrumbiclgee and Lachlan 

 Rivers in New South Wales, the latter being the locality from whence the specimen at 

 Norwich was obtained. This specimen is noted by the collector as a female, killed 

 February 28, and as having "irides hazel, bill light horn-colour, black at tip, legs and 

 feet whitish"; its principal measurements are — wing 18'90 inches, tarsus 260, middle 

 toe s. u. 2'20, culmen, including the cere, 2'25, of which the cere occupies r20. The 

 Norwich Museum also possesses a single wing from a bird of this species, the measure- 

 ment of which is 20 inches. 



^ Prince Maximilian describes this Kite under the name of ^'Falco yeta'pa\' the 

 other authors here cited use for it either the generic name '^Falco" "Milvus,'" or 

 " Nauclerus," but most have subsequently adopted that of "Elanoides." 



* The specific name "forficattis" is here used.
