The B.O.U. List gives three: Hierofalco gyrfalco ; 
H. Candicans; and H. Islandus. 
Professor Newton gives two: Falco Candicans ; 
F. Islandus. 
Mr. Seebohm gives two: Falco Gyrfalco; F. Candi- 
cans; and two intermediate forms: F. Gyrfalco—Candi- 
cans; and F. Candicans—Gyrfalco. 
Of these it would appear that F. Gyrfalco is the 
Norwegian form; F. Candicans the Greenland; and F. 
Islandus the Iceland. 
The occurence of F. Gyrfalco mentioned in the 
B.O.U. List is 20¢ alluded to, I believe, by Newton. See- 
bohm says that the example was immature, was shot at 
Orford, in Suffolk, on Oct. 14, 1867, by Mr. George 
Hunt, in the act of devouring a hen. 
My eggs of F. Gyrfalco from Torn Lapland, have 
rather more gloss than those of Candicans, and Islandus; 
from Greenland, and Iceland. 
RED-FOOTED FALCON. 
(FaLco VESPERTINUS.) 
The eggs of this bird in my collection approach nearer 
to the Lesser Kestrel in size and colour, than to the Kes- 
trel, or Merlin. They are from Ungarn and Megara, the 
average of five eggs is 1.42 by 1.22. Wheelwright says 
they are smaller and rounder than the Merlins. His 
description is the nearest to my eggs that I have seen.
