220 Messrs. Sclater and Salvin on the 



291. Elanus leucurus (Vieill.). (N. A.) 

 Transmitted by Mr. Skinner. 



292. IcTiNiA PLUMBEA (Vieill.). (N. A.) 



The Norwich Museum contains an example of this species 

 from Hondui'as. 



293. Elanoides furcatus (Vieill.). (N. A.) 



Examples from the neighbourhood of Cajabon have recently 

 been forwarded by Mr. Skinner; one of these is in the imma- 

 ture plumage, and shows a white edging to the feathers of the 

 wing-coverts. If accounts are correct, this bird is more nume- 

 rous at Belize, where it is also said to breed. 



Subfam. CiRCiNiE. 



294. Circus hudsonicus (Linn.). (N. A.) 



This is a migratory species at Duenas, and probably through- 

 out the whole country. During the winter months two or three 

 females, or immature birds, generally frequented the Lake, the 

 adult males being much less commonly seen. It occurs in the 

 Pacific coast-region ; and examples have also been transmitted 

 from the Vera Paz. 



Fam. III. STRIGID^. 



295. Glaucidium infuscatum (Temm.). Strix passeri- 

 noides, Temm. PI. Col. 344. 



A single example of this little Owl was shot by Salvin near 

 the village of Laguna, one day^s journey from Guatemala. This 

 species has frequently been included in the collections trans- 

 mitted by Mr. Skinner. 



296. Glaucidium jardinii, Bp. Phalanopsis jardinii, Bp. 

 Compt. Rend. xli. 654(?). 



The Norwich Museum contains an Owl, transmitted by 

 Mr. Skinner, which seems to belong to this species. 



297. Scops m'callii, Cassin, Birds of Californ. p. 180 (?). 



A specimen received from Mr. Skinner, in the Norwich Mu- 

 seum, seems to agree very well with the example of this bird 

 from Mexico, as referred to in P. Z. S. 1858, p. 296.
