16 CATALOGUE OF THE BIRDS OF PREY. 



two nestlings of Archibuteo ferrugineus (Licht.), and one 

 of the latter he has also presented. He describes the 

 nest from which it was taken as a large structure of sticks 

 about 3 feet in diameter, lined with dried reeds, in the fork 

 of a tree, 25 feet from the ground. A photograph of it, 

 taken by himself, is here reproduced (p. 15). 



Through the kindness of Dr. G. Bauer the Museum has 

 acquired a female Buteo galapagensis (Gould), collected by 

 him in July 1891. 



Tinnunculus alopex (Heuglin). — An adult female from 

 Keren, Bogos, Eritrea, received through Dr. H. Giglioli. 

 This place is forty miles from the Red Sea, and not far 

 from Sennaar, Galabat, and Kordofan, where this fox- 

 coloured Kestrel has been found. It has been twice figured 

 (Cat. Birds in B. M. i. pi. xiv. * j 'Ibis/ 1861, p. 69); 

 and specimens are preserved in the British, Leyden, Turin, 

 Berlin, Frankfort, Stuttgart, and Vienna Museums. My 

 father's remarks on this fine Kestrel, which comes nearest to 

 T. rupicoloides, but is larger and has a longer tail, will be found 

 in the ' Ibis/ 1881, p. 466. Count Salvadori has recorded two 

 pairs obtained in 1871 at Sabderat, which is near Keren in the 

 Soudan; and Emin Pasha sent home two from near the Albert 

 Nyanza Lake, 800 miles further south (Shelley, P. Z. S. 1888, 

 p. 47), showing that its range extends to the Equator. 



Among some skins, formerly the property of the late A. J. 

 Bruijn, two European Ospreys, Pandion haliaetus (Linn.), 

 from New Guinea, are interesting for locality's sake, and a 

 very dark brown Limnaetus gurneyi (Gray), apparently adult, 

 an Eagle of which we had only young ones before. 



SERPENTARIIDiE. 



[One genus.] 

 Ethiopian. Serpentarius secretariua (Scop.). 3f, skeleton, 



and eggs. 



* Mr. Keuleruan's picture is much lighter and yellower in tint than 

 our bird. 



t The figure after each name is the number of specimens in the Museum, 

 as has been already stated. Detached breast-bones, skulls, and feet are 

 not included in the enumeration of skeletons.
