Dr. Blanford did not obtain any falcons in Persia, but he 
thought (op. cit. p. 104) that this species might be found in 
the north-east of that country.

Neither Dr. Blanford nor I procured specimens of this bird. 
Tn the present example the dark markings of the feathers 
are very distinct, and the whole plumage is less suffused with 
buff-colour than is usual in European specimens. <A skin 
from Fao in the British Museum is also distinctly marked, 
but is slightly more buff in general tone of coloration,
