An example of each of the two following species of Falcons, said to have been obtained in the 

 Philippines, is contained in the Museum at Norwich. Although there is nothing absolutely 

 impossible in either, or both, of these species occurring in the archipelago, I refrain from treating 

 them as authentically ascertained Philippine species, the evidence in favour of their Philippine 

 origin requiring confirmation. 



Falco peregrinus, Gm., an adult female, " Manilla" ? 



Falco melanogenys, Gould, a female, not quite mature, " Philippines " ?

t Strickland (Om. Sjn. p. 104) gives 1809 as the date. This must he an error ; for Eatthtz first obtained the pair 

 he described from in the year 1829, when with the Russian corvette ' Senjavin ' at Manilla.
