has been shown by Blanford (Ibis, 1894, p. 287) to apply 

 more fitly to the Common Buzzard. 



Genus HALIAETUS. Type by moiiotypy : 11. albidlla 

 (Linn.). Wrongly spelled flaliccetus in the original 

 description. 



Genus ASTUR. Type by subsequent designation of Vigors 

 (Zool. Jonrn. i. 1824, p. 326) : A. pahnnbarius (Linn.). 



Astur palunibarnis. Linnaeus described the Goshawk twice 

 under the names Valco gentilis and P. palumbarius on 

 pp. 89 and 91 o the 10th edition. As the first name 

 has been entirely passed over and ignored until quite 

 recently, the Committee have forborne to make a 

 change, and keep the older-known name as a "nomen 

 conservandum." 



Genus ACCIPITER. Type by tautonymy : A. accijnter 

 Briss. = .l. nisus (Linn.). 



Genus MILVUS. Type by tautonymy : .17. mih-us (Linn.). 



Milvus milvus. For the reason of the change of this name 

 see Bnteo Initeo, p. 379. 



Milvus migrans. Sharpe proposed to use Gmelin's Accipiter 

 korschiin(No\. Comm. Petrop. xv. 1771, p. 444) for the 

 Black Kite. But the description seems quite unintel- 

 ligible and the figure appears to represent a Marsh- 

 Harrier, so that the Committee propose to retain Milvus 

 migrans (Bodd.), 1783 (cf. Ibis, 1874, p. 3GO, 1875, 

 p. 503, 1879, p. 72, and Ntwton, Diet. Bds. p. 491). 



Genus PERNIS. Type by monotypy : P. apivorus (Linn.). 

 Genus HIEROFALCO. Type by monotypy : H. candicanx. 



Hierofalco gyrfalco. This is the name used in the former 

 edition of the List. Hartert and the A. 0. U. Check-List 

 use Falco nisticolus, described three pages previously in 

 the 10th edition of Linnaeus, but this description, which
