Having described the different species of the Fal- 

 conine family, I now proceed to introduce those of the 

 Strigine, or the Nocturnal Birds of Prey. The genus 

 Circus exhibits the nearest affinity to the Owls gene- 

 rally; but some of the latter have also a marked rela- 

 tion to the genus Falco in particular, and others to the 

 Buzzards, as will be subsequently explained.
