LORD LILFORD 



one in Wiltshire and two in Lincolnshire, from 

 all three of which the parent birds were spared. 

 * I have a very fine specimen of Norwegian 

 Falcon alive ; he was brought from Norway last 

 year, and has moulted out very clean. It is the 

 first of its species that I ever saw alive, and it 

 is most decidedly a very different bird from 

 either Iceland or Greenland falcon. It has 

 much more of the Peregrine about it in make 

 and appearance. ... I have two Lanners and 

 two Sakers alive. 



To Albert GuntJier, M.D., F.B.S. 



' Lilford Hall, November 7, 1872. 



' Dear Dr. Giinther, I have warmly to 

 thank you for your kindness towards my elec- 

 tion to the Zoological Club, to which I have 

 long wished to belong, but did not consider 

 myself worthy. 



' I am hard at work at the Lanner Falcons, 

 of which I have now seven alive.'
