less that this female is the type of Vultur magellanicus, Shaw

 Magellan coasts by Captain Middleton, of the Royal Navy.

The specimen was inscribed in the old inventory as Falco 

 nova zeelandice, L. Latham's plate 4 belongs to this species, 

 but shows a much lighter colouring than the individual in our 

 possession, which corresponds with Temminck's t. 192; the 

 inner web of one of the rectrices in our bird is pale ferru- 

 ginous, which seems to indicate that the obscure plumage 

 of the adult (female ?) is preceded by a dress with ferruginous 

 tail.
