^ Domaniewski (C. R. Soc. Sci. Varsovie, x., p. 260, 191 8) has described another 

 form from Manchuria, viz. : F. subbuteo ussuriensis, but I have had no opportunity 

 of considering this race, nor have I been able to see examples from the Irkutslc 

 Govt., Siberia {F. subbuteo erkutensis Johansen, Orn. Jahr. xxv., p. 83, 1915).
