^ Mr. Sharpe applies to this Falcon the specific name "australis," proposed by 

 MM. Hombron and Jacquinot in the 'Anuales des Sciences Naturelles,' 2nd series, 

 vol. xvi. p. 312 ; but, according to the letterpress of the ' Voyage au Pole Sud,' Zool. 

 vol. iii. p. 47, this name was given to the species inhabiting the Auckland Islands as 

 well as New Zealand, which is H. notes zealandicB. I therefore agree with Dr. Buller 

 in considering "Falco misiralis" a synonym of the larger species, and I would designate 

 the smaller, if it be really distinct, by Mr. Gould's specific name "briinnea." Mr. 

 Sharpe, in the 'Ibis,' 1873, p. 327, objected to the use of the latter name as "being 

 already pre-occupied by Bechstein, who thus called the Common Kestrel of Europe ; " 

 but I would submit that the fact of this specific name having been proposed for a species 

 of the genus Tinnunculus docs not render its employment illegitimate when it is applied 

 to a bird belonging to another and distinct genus — that of Harpa.
