Subfamily Fatconin#. 
Genus Fatco. 
FaLco LUGGUR. 
Of the true Falcons, the Luggur is the most abundant on the table- 
lands of Western India. The top of a tall tree in the midst of culti- 
vation is its favourite resort. It breeds during the months of March, 
April, and probably May, making its nest, like that of all the birds 
of prey, of twigs and sticks on a tall tree, and lays four eggs, 15% inch 
in length, and 1,5, inch in breadth, of a reddish-white ground, 
spotted with two shades of reddish-brown, and thickly mottled with 
red-brown at the larger end; some are of a more yellow colour. As 
the plumage of the young birds has been already noted, any further 
description is unnecessary. In the stomachs of two birds of this 
species I found the remains of lizards. 
FALco CHICQUERA. 
This handsome little Falcon is also common in Western India. It 
is a bird of rapid flight, and peculiarly active and energetic in all its 
movements. The natives told me that it is a great enemy to the 
sparrows, killing numbers of them. Its shrill scream quite betokens 
its fierce character. Like the last-named Falcon it lays four eggs, 
smaller in size, of a yellow-brown, mottled with a darker shade of the 
same colour, particularly at the larger end; in length 1,4, inch, and 
nearly 1,4, inch in breadth. It breeds during the months of February 
and March. 
FaLco TINNUNCULUS. KESTRIL. 
T have not been able as yet to discover whether this bird breeds in 
the Deccan or not. 
2. Description or A New Species oF Cypris. 
By W. Bairp, M.D., F.L.S. 
In a collection of shells procured some years ago by the British 
Museum, from M. Parreyss of Vienna, were two species under the 
name of Nuculina, the N. donaciformis and N. triangularis. Neither 
of these, however, belong to the Mollusca, both species bemg En- 
tomostracans, and belonging to two totally different genera. The 
former I have described and figured in the ‘Proceedings of the Zoo- 
logical Society’ for 1849, (p. 89), under the name of Estheria donaci- 
formis ; the latter is the one now under consideration. It belongs to 
the genus Cypris, and I propose naming it C. triangularis. It may 
be characterized thus :— 
Cypris TRIANGULARIS. 
Shell or carapace of a triangular form, smooth and shining, of a 
transparent green colour; anterior and posterior extremities nearly 
of equal size; centre of carapace very gibbous; left valve overlap- 
ping the other at the lower margin.
