HALIAETUS ALBICILLA BROOKSI (Hume). 

 EASTERN GRAY SEA EAGLE. 



In the collection there are a young female of this form, taken at 

 Fusan in November, 1884, and another specimen without data. 



Family FALCON I DM. 



FALCO PEREGRINUS ANATUM (Bonaparte). 

 DUCK HAWK. 



A female Peregrine Falcon taken by Mr. Jouy at Fusan on August 

 28, L 884, appears to be indistinguishable from typical specimens of 

 this subspecies. 



FALCO iESALON INSIGNIS (Clark). 

 KOREAN MERLIN. 



JSstilnn regulus insignis A. il. Clark, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 32, L907, p. 171) 

 (Fusan. Korea). 



The type of this subspecies, a young male was obtained by Mr. 

 Jouy at Fusan on March 12, 1884. 



FALCO jESALON Tunstall. 

 MERLIN. 



There is a female unmistakably referable to this form in the col- 

 lection, taken by Mr. Jouy at Fusan on November 23, 1884. It 

 agrees perfectly with a good series of birds from ^ ezo. 



It will be noticed that this is a winter bird, which probably came 

 from northern Japan. Although the available material is very 

 scanty. I believe that the breeding merlins of Korea will prove to be 

 F. ,i . insignis, while /•'. as. japonicus will be Found *to be a winter 

 visitor, at least to that part of the peninsula about the Korean Straits. 



FALCO TINNUNCULUS PERPALLIDUS (Clark). 

 KOREAN KESTREL. 



Cerchneis perpallida A. II. Clark, Proc. I S. Nat. Mus., vol. 32, L907, p. 470 

 Fusan, Korea). 

 The collection contains the type of this subspecies, a male, which 

 was taken at Fusan on April 6, Inn I. 



FALCO TINNUNCULUS Linnseus. 

 KESTREL. 



A female kestrel taken at Seoul, September 23, 1883, is referable 

 to this subspecies. It is very dark in color, agreeing perfectly with 

 specimens from Japan. Probably, as in the ease of the merlins-, the 



breeding kestrels in Korea will be found to belong to the li<jht form 

 which I have called /» r/xiUi,/ us, while the dark Japanese form ocelli's 

 during the migrations and possibly in winter.
