On looking over this list (which has reference only to species 
now or formerly living in the Society’s Gardens), it will be seen 
that the birds used by falconers are restricted to very few sub- 
families.* I have marked the genus Aquila, because in Persia, 
Tartary, India, and other parts of the East, Eagles are said to be 
used for taking small deer, antelopes, and hares;t and there is 
some reason to believe that the Osprey has been trained to catch 
fish.{ The Kite, although incapable of being trained, affords 
good sport when flown at by falcons, and so does the Kestrel. 
Falconers are in the habit of classifying the birds used by them 
as ‘“Long-winged” and ‘“‘ Short-winged” Hawks, a very con- 
venient division. To the first-named group belong all the typical
