wu Great Britain during the Nesting-season. 9 
PaNDION HALIAETUS (Cuv.). Osprey. 
Provinces [I.?] [XIII.] XV. XVI. XVII. 
Subprovinees (3 ?), (27), (29), 31, 32, 34, 35. 
Lat. 56°-59°. “Scottish” type. Not in Ireland. 
Mr. W. D. Crotch informs me that a nest was built, eighteen 
years ago, at Monksilver in Somersetshire : ‘ the keeper shot the 
birds when making their nest.” 
Mr. R. Gray tells me that the nest has been found on Loch 
Doon, in Ayrshire. Other localities might be cited in Stirling, 
Perth, Elgin, Inverness, Argyle, Dumbarton, Ross, and Suther- 
land; but the bird and its eggs are so much sought after by 
collectors that very few pairs continue to nest in any part of 
Scotland *, 
Fatco PEREGRINUS (Gmel.). Peregrine Falcon. 
Provinces I.-ITI. [IV.] V.-VII. X.-X VIII. 
Subprovinces 1—7, (11), (14), 15, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24-88. 
Lat. 50°-61°. “British” type, or general. 
Thinly scattered from the south to the north of Great Britain. 
More frequent on the rocky headlands of the north and west 
coasts, and not found in some of the level districts of the middle 
and south-east of England. 
HyporriorcHIs suBBUTEO (Bore). Hobby. 
Provinces 1, 10. LD. iV. V. VIM. .X. 
Subprovinces 3, 4, 5-12, 14, 15, 19, 20, 22, 23. 
Lat. 50°-54°. “Germanic” or South-eastern type. Not in 
Treland. 
A scarce bird in all the districts where it breeds. Though 
noticed by Dr. Moore as breeding in Wairleigh Woods, the 
Hobby is not included in any of the recent lists which I have 
received from Devonshire, nor have I any record of its nesting 
in Wales. It seems to be more frequent in the south-eastern 
and midland counties of England, its distribution thus resem- 
bling that of the Nightingale. 
* We doubt if the Osprey has bred in Scotland for more than ten 
years.— Ep.
