38 RAPTORIAL BIRDS 
The fourth group of typical Falcons consists of the 
Saker,* (Fa/co sacer) and two allied, but smaller species. 
The Saker is a larger Falcon than the Lanner, and has 
a more eastern geographical range. In Europe it is 
only found in Turkey and Southern Russia, whence it 
extends eastwards to China. 
In Africa it has a comparatively limited range, 
reaching from Algeria to the Red Sea. The Arabs of 
the Sahara use both this Falcon and the Lanner for 
the chase of the Houbara bustard; and the Saker is 
also trained for falconry in some countries of Central 
Asia. 
The Saker is occasionally found in Northern India, 
but in the Indian peninsula generally, its place is 
supplied by its smaller congener, Hadco jugger, which 
is there called the Jugger or Lugger Falcon, and is 
much in use among the Indian falconers for the chase 
of the smaller species of heron, and other birds of 
feebler type than those at which the Peregrine is there 
flown. 
The third Falcon of this group, which closely re- 
sembles the Jugger, is a native of Mexico and the 
adjacent countries of North America. It is a rare 
species in collections, and the Norwich Museum is 
fortunate in possessing this Falcon and also the two 
* Some naturalists divide this species into two distinct races, 
(F. sacer and F. milvipes,) but the correctness of this view is at 
present doubtful. Both these supposed races are represented in 
the Norwich Museum.
