T.TST OF DTTTRXAL BIRDS OF PREY, 



' I have referred, in my Notes, to Dr. Gimdlach's statement as to the interbreeding 

 of T. dommicensis and T. sparverioides ; it is perhaps possible that the latter may in 

 reality be merely a partially melanistic race of the former. 



^ In ray Notes on this species I have referred to the reasons for ui;ing the specific 

 name of " cerickiis" rather than that of "■ naumciiun' adopted by Mr. Sharpe ; as to 

 points of difference between this species and T. pekinensis, see Appendix M. 



' See Appendix M. 



* In this article Mr. Hume recognizes the identity of the bird for which he had 

 previously proposed the specific name of " inglisi" with T. peki7iensis. 



" This subgenus is included by Mr. Sharpe in the group to which he applies the 

 generic term of " Cerchneis ;"' Mr. Sharpe's example in this respect has been followed by 

 Signor Du Bocage. Some other authors include Eryfhropus in the genus Falco. 



" Two of the Norfolk-killed specimens recorded by Mr. Stevenson are preserved in 

 the Norwich Museum. This species is referred to by Mr. Stevenson under the name of 

 '■ Fal<'o ri'fipes."
