304 MR. P. L. SCLATER ON A NEW SPECIES OF ACCIPITER. [May 8, 



guttatus,Viei\\." and " Nisus variatus, Cuv.," Less., in the Paris 

 Museum, appears to be a young bird of this species, for which, how- 

 ever, it is more prudent to retain the better-known name imposed 

 upon it by Mr. Gray. 



3. ACCIPITER VENTRAL.IS, Sp. 110V. 



Hab. Interior of New Granada. 



4. ACCIPITER TINTJS. 



Falco tinus, Latham. 



Accipiter tinus, Gray & Mitch. Gen. B. pi. 10. 



Nisus tinus, Burm. Syst. Ueb. ii. p. 70. 



Accipiter fontanieri, Bp. C. R. xxxvii. p. 810 (juv.). 



Hab. New Granada (Fontanier) ; Veragua (Arce). 



The type specimen of Accipiter fontanieri is now in the gallery of 

 the Jardin des Plantes, and is certainly referable to the rufous stage 

 of this species. 



5. Accipiter pileatus. 



Falco pileatus, Max. Beitr. iii. p. 107 ; Temm. PI. Col. 205. 



Hab. Brazil, Cayenne, and northwards to Guatemala, where fine 

 specimens of both sexes were obtained by Mr. Salvin. The adult of 

 this bird is correctly figured by Temminck, I. c. It is difficult to 

 understand how it has come to be confounded with A. cooperi. 



6. Accipiter cooperi. 



Falco cooperi, Bp. Am. Orn. ii. p. 1, pi. 10. f. 1. 

 Falco stanleyii, Aud. 

 Accipiter cooperi, Baird, B. N. A. p. 16. 



Hab. North America, and southwards to Guatemala, where ex- 

 amples were obtained by Mr. Salvin. 



7. Accipiter pectoralis. 



" Falco pectoralis, Cuv.," Bp. R. Z. 1850, p. 474. 

 Accipiter pectoralis, Sclater, Ibis, 1861, p. 313, pi. 10.

Accipiter collaris, Sclater, Ibis, 1860, p. 148, pi. 6. 

 Hab. New Granada. 



9. Accipiter castanilius. 



Accipiter castanilius, Bp. Rev. Zool. 1853, p. 578 ; Compt. Rend, 

 xxxvii. p. 810 (1853). 



Hab. Vicinity of Santa Martha, New Granada. 



M. Verreaux informs me that he received several examples of this 

 very distinct species from his collector at Santa Martha. One of 

 them is now in the British Museum, and is the only specimen I have 

 seen of this bird.
