294 Mr. J. H. Gumey's Notes on 



of Jamaica (p. 110). Passing to auothcr quarter of the globe, 

 the Britisli Museum has recently acquired an adult speci- 

 men from Axim, on the Gold Coast of Western Africa ; and 

 further to the south, M. Barboza du Bocage, in his excellent 

 work on the ornithology of Angola, records, at p. 46, a pair 

 of true Peregrines obtained on the Rio Coroca, in Mossa- 

 medes. A young female killed, after high winds, in the island 

 of Mauritius, in December 1870, is in the possession of Messrs. 

 A. and E. Newton; a specimen recorded in 'The Ibis' was 

 taken between Socotra and the Arabian coast on 27th Oc- 

 tober, 1876* ; Mr. Hume has recorded the occurrence of F. 

 perep'inus vd Muscatf, on the Laccadive Islands:}:, in Upper 

 Pegu§, and at Malacca || ; an adult male from the Nicobar 

 Islands, an adult female from Manilla, and a nearly adult 

 male from Sandalwood Island are preserved in the Norwich 

 Museum ; this species is also an inhabitant of Cochin China, 

 and an adult from Saigon is in the British Museum. 



The Leyden Museum contains a specimen of the true F. 

 peregrinns from Baugka ami three from Java, also one from 

 Ternate and another from Ceram ; and Count Salvadori 

 states that the same museum also contains " specimina non- 

 nulla Australiaua a speciminibus Europieis non distinguenda'^ 

 {vide 'Prodromus,' Accipitres, p. 5). This remark may per- 

 haps imply that the true Peregrine sometimes visits Australia ; 

 but I have never myself seen a typical F. peregrinus from that 

 country. 



The same learned author, in his larger work on the Orni- 

 thology of Papuasia and the Moluccasj (pt. 1, p. 33), mentions 

 that he has not had an opportunity of inspecting a Peregrine 

 from Borneo. I have examined two typical examples ot 

 F. peregrinus from Borneo ^[, both adults, and one of them 

 preserved in the Norwich IMuseum ; a third Bornean Falcon 

 which has come under my notice, and to which I shall have
