11. Falco peregrinus, Gm. ; Barnes, Ibis, 1893, p. 64. 

 Recorded by Barnes, but, as no specimen was collected, 



the identity of the species is by no means established. 



12. Falco PUNicus, Levaill.; Gurney, List of B. o£ Prey, 

 p. 107. 



Falco barbarus, Barnes, Ibis, 1893, p. 64. 



Dr. Sharpe informs me that he considers his former iden- 

 tification of Barnes's bird may be incorrect, and that the 

 identification of Lord Lilford, as given in the editorial 

 note (Ibis, 1893, p. 65), is right. I never met with the 

 species myself in the neighbourhood of Aden, but a young 

 bird given to me by Mr. Chevallier is apparently an imma- 

 ture F. punicus. This bird was shot in September 1894, and 

 is said to have played havoc among the Pigeons on Telegraph 

 Hill for some time before it was killed. 



13. TiNNUNCULus ALAUDARius (Gui.) ; Bames, Ibis, 1893, 

 p. 65. 



Cerchneis, sp. inc., Yerbury, Ibis, 1886, p. 13. 



A young male was shot at Lahej on Nov. 21st, 1894, by 

 Capt. Nurse. The Kestrel is not uncommon at Aden. I 

 paid a visit to the site of the nest mentioned in my former 

 paper, but did not see the birds anywhere in its vicinity. 



14. Pandion haliaetus (Linn.) ; Yerbury, Ibis, 1886, 

 p. 14; Barnes, Ibis, 1893, p. 66. 



I did not meet with the Osprey during my recent visit, 

 but I think there is no doubt that it is resident and breeds 

 in the peninsula. 



II. STRIGES. 



15. Bubo milesi, Sharpe, Ibis, 1886, p. 163, pi. vi. 



A single specimen, said to have been shot at Haithalhim, 

 was given to me by Mr. Chevallier. It agrees with the 

 types of B. milesi in the British Museum. Dr. Bowdler 

 Sharpe says of this Aden specimen : — '' I notice that Mr. 

 Gurney (Ibis, 1890, p. 262) suggests the identity of Bubo 

 milesi with Otus abyssinicus of Guerin. This may be the 

 case, but until an example of B. milesi has been compared
