9. CyminpIs unciNaTUS, IIl.; Schleg. Mus. P.-B. Pernes, p. 8; 
Léot. p. 36. 
One specimen in the dress of the younger bird, as described by 
Dr. Léotaud (p. 38). 
CyMINDIs pucHERANI, Léot. p. 40. 
Very probably this species is identical with Falco vitticaudatus, 
Neuw. (Beitr. p. 178; Cymindis vitticaudus, Pelz. i. p. 6), which 
Professor Schlegel declares to be nothing more than a black variety 
of C. uncinatus (Mus. P.-B. Pernes, p.8). It has certainly nothing 
whatever to do with Urubitinga anthracina or U. schistacea, as 
Dr. Sclater suggests (Ibis, 1867, p. 107), but is a true Cymindis 
(tarsus 133/""!). 
10. GAMpsonyx SWAINSONI, Vig.; Burm. ii. p. 114; Léot. p. 41. 
Two specimens of this widely distributed species, agreeing with 
specimens from Northern Brazil (Ceara).
