also purchased and still possess. But, so far as I can judge, the Labrador 

 Jerfalcon is resident, whereas the other two species only occasionally straggle 

 to that country. 



Excepting the series in the Brunswick Museum, I have only had an 

 opportunity of examining four examples of this rare Falcon, viz.: — the three in 

 my own collection, above described ; and one from Fort Nescopec, Labrador, 

 belonging to the Smithsonian Institution, and lent to me by Professor Spencer 

 F. Baird. It appears, moreover, to be even much rarer in American than in 

 European collections ; for Mr. Ridgway was only able to examine three 

 examples when writing his article on the Jerfalcons — two of which were in 

 the Smithsonian Institution, and one in the Boston Museum.
