In giving in the present Number of these Researches the figure of the Falco 

 CEerulescens of Linnaeus, I have in some degree deviated fi-om the plan which I 

 proposed to myself at the commencement ; but as I have been enabled to offer to 

 the patrons of the Work four original figures in Ornithology, I concluded it would 

 not be unacceptable to them to meet, at the side of the largest species of Falcon 

 which Java produces, another bird, remarkable on account of its minuteness and 

 beauty. The Public has long been acquainted with the Falco casrulescens, which is 

 considered as the smallest of the genus, and was first described by Edwards in his 

 Natural History of Bu-ds, published in the year 1750, firom a specimen forwarded 

 to Dr. Mead from Bengal.
