SUPPLEMENT. 643 
§ 5948. One.——Sweden (?). From Mr. Wheelwright’s Collection , 
1866. 
A dwarf—measuring 1-68 by 1-23 inch. 
§ 5949. One.—North America. From Dr. Brewer, 1848. 
§ 5950. Three-—North America. From Dr. Brewer, 1851. 
When I brought out the first part of this work, opinions were divided as to the 
specific identity of the European and American Ospreys, the latter having been 
described as distinct under the name of P. carolinensis, and I therefore omitted the 
eggs of the latter. It seems now tu be generally admitted that there is but one 
species, so I here include them. 
CircaETUs GALLICUS. (Vol. I. p. 73.) 
§ 5951. Two.—Kustendje, 18 May, 1866. “ Birds well seen.” From 
Dr. Cullen. 
Accipiter Nisus. (Vol. [. p.-78.) 
§ 5952. Four—Merta-saari, Tepasto, 1855. 
Michael and others in company found this nest in a tree in an island in Ounasjoki. 
Some said it was a kind of Pouta-Haukka [Merlin]; Martin Pieti thought it was 
a Nuoli-Haukka, or at all events the same bird whose feet he brought wita the 
eggs [§ 136] last year. 
§ 5953. Three—Madingley, Cambridgeshire, June, 1866. From 
Mr. T. E. Buckley. 
§ 5954. Sta.—Norfolk, 3 June, 1873. From Mr. F. Norgate, 
1875. 
ACCIPITER BREVIPES (Severtzow). 
§ 5955. One—Smyrna, 22 May, 1863. ‘Kr.’ From Dr. Kriiper, 
through Herr Seidensacher. 
This seems to be out of the very nest described in the ‘ Verhandlungen der k. k. 
zoolog.-bot. Gesellschaft ’ of Vienna for 1864 (p.15). Therein the day stands “ 12 
Mai,” but in the separate copy of his paper which Herr Seidensacher sent to me 
he has corrected the “12” to “22.” This egg appears to be somewhat stained and 
is rather larger than the specimen figured. It came to me under the name of 
‘“ Falco badius,” a synonym of Severtzow’s Astur brevipes (ef. Ibis, 1865, pp. 341, 
342).
