Skel. 2 



* Here referred to under the specific name of "communis," which was ultimately 

 abandoned by Mr. Sharpe in favour of " peregrinus," as to which see my Notes. 



2 Subsequently to the publication of my remarks as to the frequent occurrence of 

 Indian Peregrines in which the breast and abdomen are spotted instead of transversely 

 barred, Captain Wardlaw Ramsay kindly lent me a similar English specimen, an adult 

 male, killed at Willesden on December 31, 1868, in which the only portions of the 

 under surface that are transversely barred are the under wing-coverts, the flanks, and, 

 to a slight extent, the lower abdomen, the breast being speckled with small spots about 

 one eighth of an inch long and about half as much across. 



^ Here figured under the name of " Falco polyagrus," but erroneously, as I have been 

 informed by Mr. Ridgway.
