145. NisAETus FASciATUs (Vieill.). 



In tlie gardens of the Crystal Palace^ Oporto, there are two 

 fine live Bonelli's Eagles from the Serra do Marao, presented 

 by the Visconde de Villar Allen. In the Coimbra Museum 

 there are four specimens^ and the same number in the Lisbon 

 Museum. 



146. AsTUR PALUMBARius (Linn.). 



A solitary specimen of the Goshawk was sent to the Lisbon 

 Museum from Evora. 



147. AccipiTER Nisus (Linn.). " Gafanhoto/' " Gaviao/' 

 Oporto. 



Common and resident in the north of Portugal. I have 

 received eggs of the Sparrow Hawk from Caudal, near Oporto, 

 and from Castello de Paiva, 



148. MiLvus icTiNUs (Savigny). "Papa pintos/' An- 

 chora; "Minhoto/' Valen9a ; '' Milhano," " Milhafre de 

 rabo de bacalhau/^ Abrantes. 



The Red Kite is common all over the country, especially 

 in the south. It is abundant on the banks of the Tagus, but 

 it is rarely seen in the immediate neighbourhood of Oporto, 

 where its place is taken by the Buzzard. 



149. MiLvus MIGRANS (Bodd.). 



The Black Kite, which can be distinguished on the wing 

 from the Bed Kite, was seen by me on the 5tb April, 1884, 

 at Beja (Alemtejo), and again on the 7tli of the same month 

 on the Guadiana. There is a specimen from the Tagus 

 in the Lisbon Museum ; and it is probably not uncommon in 

 the southern part of Portugal. 



150. Elanus C.ERULEUS (Dcsf.). 



There are two specimens of the Black-winged Kite in the 

 Lisbon Museum, sent from Salvaterra. Dr. Carvalho writes 

 me that in January one was sent from Montargil (Alemtejo) 

 to the Coimbra Museum, and another from the same locality 

 on the 12th July. I saw a pair of what I believe were these 

 birds near Tuy, a frontier town in Galicia, Spain.
