I have received specimens of this beautiful Hawk from 

 Denkera, but know nothing of its habits, 



11. AsTURiNULA MONOGRAMMicA (Temm.) : Finseh u. Hartl. 

 Vog. Ostafr. p. 59. 



I observed this Falcon in considerable numbers on the 

 Volta. It is a handsome, bold bird, and is said by the natives 

 to be very destructive. 



12. PoLYBOROiDES TYPicus, Sm. : Sharpe, Ibis, 1869, p. 194. 

 I have only received this pretty Hawk from the interior, 



and am not acquainted with its habits. It does not appear 

 to be common. 



13. HuHUA LEUcosTicTA (Hartl.) : Sharpe, Ibis, 18G9, 

 p. 387. 



Not very uncommon on the Gold Coast. A fine specimen 

 was brought me alive from Denkera. It did not thrive, 

 however, and finally died. 



14. Syrnium nuchale, Sharpe, Ibis, 1870, p. 487. 



One adult specimen was broiight me alive from Denkera 

 by Aubinn ; and in my last collection I brought home several 

 yoimg birds.

 This fine Owl was brought to me from Denkera, where it 



was stated to be rather rare.

 Not un frequently found along the roads in Fantee. I take 



the present opportunity of observing that the specimens named 

 by Mr. Sharpe Caprimulyus fossil (Ibis, 1872, p. QQ) are really 

 referable to the present species, which greatly resembles C. 

 fossil when the tail is imperfectly developed, as was the case 

 with the ones I shot.
