The authors ^Ive no recoguizable account of the several Hawks they 

 treat of collectively iu a single paraoTaj)!! ; though the allusion to the 

 " blue wings '' of one of theiu may be supposed to signify Circus.

May be supposed to refer to Btiho lu.rginianus, though thereis nothing 

 requiring such identiticatiou.

^^ Large Woodpeel'er or Laycocli.''' 



Allen, ii. 185. — Rees, 4to, 477. — Rees, Svo, iii. 52. — M'Vickar, ii. 356. 



" Laycock," though repeated in all the editions, is an evident misprint 

 for " Logcock," a common uanie of Hylatomus 2)i leaf us. 



The " Lark Woodpecker" mentioned without description iu the same 

 paragraph is not identifiable, but we may suppose it to be a Colaptes, 

 from the resemblance of the black pectoral crescent to that of a Stur- 

 7iella, called Lark by the authors. 



" The LavTiP 



Allen, ii. 186.— Rees, 4to, 477.— Rees, Svo, iii. 52.— M'Yickar, ii. 356.

Under this head, the authors describe two small birds, but not recog- 

 nizably ; I do not even pretend to say to what family they belong.

" Small White-hreasted CorvusJ'' 



Allen, ii. 186.— Rees, 4t'o, 478.- Rees, Svo, iii. 53.— M'Yickar, ii. 357. 



In the earlier editions the name is as given here: M'Yickar, upon 

 what authority does not appear, has it " White-crested."' I do not know 

 what bird is intended by this, unless the authors refer to Cyanocitta. 



" The Snipe, t£-c."
