Professor Schlegel is certainly wrong in considering S. braccatus, 
Spix (Des Murs, Icon. pl. 67; S. fyrannus, Neuw.) to be “1’oiseau 
dans la premiére livrée”’ of S. ornatus. 
FALCONINE. 
4. Fatco cotumsartus, L.; Schleg. Mus. P.-B. Falcones, p. 19. 
Hypotriorchis columbarius, Léot. p. 26. 
One male in young plumage, resembling in every respect the 
young of our J’. esalon, except that the tail has five rusty cross 
bands instead of seven as in F. esalon. The latter species seems to 
be also distinguished by having considerably longer wings.

Tinnunculus sparverius, Pelz. Geier und Falken (1863), p. 627; 
Taylor, 7. c. p. 80. 
A young male agreeing entirely with specimens from Texas and 
California (Cape St. Lucas: Xantus). 
Dr. Léotaud does not include this widely distributed species ; but 
Mr. Taylor notices— Occasionally seen in Trinidad, but much less 
common there than in the Antilles Islands.”

p- 28. 
An old one and two in change of plumage, having the underparts 
white, with longitudinal black shaft-stripes; in one the flanks bear 
cordiform brown spots. 
ACCIPITRINE. 
7. ASTURINA NiTIDA (Lath.) ; Taylor, J. c. p. 80. 
Astur nitidus, Léot. p. 46. 
One specimen in the very different and curious first year’s plu- 
mage, as described by Dr. Léotaud (p. 47). 
MILVINe. 
8. CyMINDIS CAYENNENSIS (Gmel.) ; Schleg. Mus. P.-B. Pernes, 
p. 9; Léot. p. 34. 
A young specimen, brown above, below white, with black shaft- 
stripes; tail with four black and four brown cross bands. 
We possess this species from Brazil and Guatemala.
