THE NORTH AMERICAN PEREGRINE. 221 



Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant, and pronounced by him to be 

 an example of the North American race (Bull. B.O.C., 



xxvn., p. 103). 



By the kindness of Mr. Bid well we are able to give 

 a reproduction from a photograph of this specimen. 



Concerning both birds, Dr. Ernst Hartert writes to 

 us as follows : — 



" I have examined both specimens and consider both 

 to be young Falco peregrinus anatum. They are too 

 dark for F . p. peregrinus, and were recognized as some- 

 thing unusual by every observer. F . p. pealei (as the 

 Americans call the north-western coast race) is a very 

 closely allied form, the young of which are probably not 

 distinguishable from those of F. p. anatum, but as it 

 inhabits the Commander and Aleutian Islands and Pacific 

 coast of North America south to Oregon, it is not as 

 likely to stray over to Europe as F. p. atiatum."
