U FALCON. 



Variety- To this fhort defcription I fhall add a further one, from a 



Ipecimen in the fame collection as the laft. The length is fix- 

 teen inches. On the wings, when clofed, is a large fpot of a 

 buff-colour, croffed with (lender flripes of brown ; this mark 

 arifes from the greater quills, all of which, except the two firft, 

 are buff-coloured in the middle: the under parts are whitifh, but 

 on the breafl and belly many of the feathers have a dafh of brown* 

 and fome few wholly brown : crown of the head dafhed with brown : 

 thighs pale buff, obfoletely ftreaked with brown. 



This came from Cayenne. A paper fent with it, gave it the 

 name of " Pagani gris tachete." Many marks, both in this and 

 the laft fpecies, coincide fufficiently to pronounce them the fame 

 ipecies with thofe of Linn 'am referred toj and it is very probable 

 that they may be either varieties, or perhaps differing in fex 

 from thofe which he defcribes.
