SCLAVONIAN FALCON. 



Falco Sclavonicus. F. cera lutea, pedibus, exceptis digifis, 



lanatis, corpore testaceo maculis nigris, capite fy collo aibidiori- 



bus. Kram. El. p. 3ig. 

 Falcon with luteous cere, testaceous body with black spots, 



head and neck whitish, and legs feathered, except on the 



toes. 



Size of a common Cock. Inhabits Sclavonia, 

 and is perhaps no other than a variety of the 

 preceding. 



RANIVOROUS FALCON. 



Falco ranivo'rus. .F. fuscus, subtus albido varius, femoribus 

 crissoque rufo-ferrugimis. Lath. Suppl. Ind. Orn. 



Brown Falcon, beneath varied with whitish, with rufo-ferru- 

 ginous thighs and vent. 



Le Grenouillard. Levaill. Ois. Afr. 1. pi. 23. 



Native of the Cape of Good Hope: size of the 

 Moor-Buzzard, to which it is much allied; builds 

 among rushes, with the stalks of leaves of water- 

 plants, and feeds principally on frogs, and on 

 young water- fowl. A variety, still more resembling 

 the Moor-Buzzard, has been also observed, and a 

 third quite black with the rump white; but if this 

 be supposed of the same species, it is evident that 

 no dependance can be placed on the proposed 

 specific character.
