Spitzbergen. 1. One, old, nearly white male, in coll. of Herr A. 

 Benzon, Copenhagen. ' Dresser, 1. c. (Benzon, in lit.) July, 1861. 



Obs. — This bird has been so frequently confounded with its allies, 

 Falco gerfalco and Falco islandicus, that it is impossible, according to 

 Dresser (B. of E.), to state with certainty whether it has ever occurred on 

 the continent of Europe, but it is doubtful. One is recorded near Neron, 

 Dept. of L'Ain, France, in Bouteille, Ornith. du Dauphine ; but Degland 

 and Gerbe (Orn. Eur., I, p. 73) consider it very doubtful whether it was 

 this species, and no date is given.

 Dr. Vouga, in lit. In coll. of Capt. Vouga, at Cortaillod, Vaud. ? 



Obs. — The above instance may be considered as the only authentic 

 occurrence of this bird in Europe. Temminck (Manuel d'Ornith., Vol. I, 

 p. 52) cites two captures, — one that of an old male in the Canton of 

 Zurich, Switzerland, and the other a very old female in Wiirtemberg, and 

 also mentions its occurrence in the Lofoten Islands, Norway (Man., Vol. 

 Ill, p. 27), while Degland and Gerbe (Orn. Eur., Vol. I, p. 42) mention 

 one said to have been killed at Postawy, in Russia. The latter authors 

 also refer to this species two " with heads and shoulders pure white, like 

 the tail," recorded by Nordmann (Faune Pontique, p. 99), from Southern
