agrees very closely with specimens in the same stage of plumage of F. cassini from South 

 America. This last bird inhabits Chili and the Falkland Islands. Falco minor, Bp., is also 

 closely allied to F. peregrinus, but is much smaller in size. Full particulars of this species will 

 be given in the present work, as it has been met with in the Western Palaearctic Region. 



The specimens figured are the adult and young birds above described, both of which are in 

 my collection.
