Common Kestrel occurs ; and some remarks of mine on Mr. Swinhoe's 

 e-xcelleut series will be found in Dresser's ' Birds of Europe.' 



Throughout all these dark races of Kestrel one character is pre- 

 dominant in addition to the richer and more intense coloration of the 

 male bird, viz. that the female has more or less of a shade of blue 

 on the rump aud tail, which sometimes overspreads the whole of the 

 latter.
