has been shown by Blanford (Ibis, 1894, p. 287) to apply 

 more fitly to the Common Buzzard. 



Oenus HALIAETUS. Type by monotypy : H. albicilla 

 (Linn.). Wrongly spelled Ilalkeetus in the original 

 description. 



Genus ASTUR. Type by subsequent designation o£ Vigors 

 (Zool. Journ. i. 1824, p. 326) : A . palumharius (Linn.). 



Astur paluml)ariiis. Linnseus described the Goshawk twice 

 under the names Falco gentilis and F. palumharius on 

 pp. 89 and 91 o£ the lOLh edition. As the first name 

 has been entirely passed over and ignored until quite

Genus HIEROFALCO. Type by monotypy : H. candicans. 



Hierofalco gyrfalco. This is the name used in the former 

 edition of the List. Hartert and the A. 0. U. Check-List 

 use Falco rusticolus, described three pages previously in 

 the 10th edition of Linnseus, but this description, which
