Ornithological Literature o/1871. 437 



A series of remarks on what the author considers the well- 

 established species of these two divisions of Falco. He does 

 not appear to have examined the Algerian Falcon referred by 

 Salvin to F. barbarus, Linn., and well known to English col- 

 lectors. Falco bahylonicus is considered to be without doubt the 

 young of F. tanypt&rus (i. e. lanarius, auct. plur.).
