LIST OL' DIURXAL BIKDS OF PKKY. 



' In November 1876 a very small Kestrel was killed in West Cornwall, which I think 

 may have been a wandering example of T. neglectus ; it was recorded by the late Mr. 

 Rodd at p. 6178 of the ' Zoologist ' for that year, and I have no further information 

 respecting it than that which he there supplied. 



^ I have, in my Notes, applied to this species the name of " inter stinct us" ; but I now 

 feel doubtful whether M'Clelland's " Falco interstinctus" was not founded on a female 

 or young male of the ordinary T. alaudarius, and I have therefore hero availed mj'self 

 of Blyth's specific name of ''saturates." which appears to have been founded on a 

 female of the darker race. Mr. Sharpe's views as to the subspecific races of T. alau- 

 darius will be found in his Catalogue, under the head of that species. 



^ Signor Du Bocage follows Mr. Sharpe in using the generic term of " Cerckaeis" in 

 preference to that of " Tin nun cuius." Professor Schlegel and Sir A. Smith have used 

 that of "Falco."
