ideus, p. 201, pi. 32 {—Sphyrapicus thyroidetis) ; Ain))U)drainns rosiratus, p. 226, pi. 38; 

 ToxostoDia rediviva, p. 260, pi. 42 (evidently of the dark brownish coast bird T. redivivuni 

 redivivuin). The biographies of many species are quoted from previous writers, and also 

 from heretofore unpublished statements by IMcCall, Heermann and others. There is thus 

 considerable original information. Two supposed new species are described, from Califor- 

 nia specimens: Falco nigriceps Si-atS. Falco polyagrus {^^rX conXsiininQ ihese, issued in De- 

 cember, 1853) ; both names have proven synonyms of Falco peregriniis anatum.
