Mr. Richmond has identified the specimens procured by 
Capt. Robinson as Falco sparverius (cf. Robinson, ¢. ¢.

This was the only example that I shot of this species, 
but [ procured two adults and one young bird alive. The

very closely with the bird which I shot, but the Margarita 
bird is somewhat paler and less rufous below.
