from Burma, though I have no recollection of the circumstance. It is, 

 however, a most likely species to occur there, as is also F. peregrinus, in 

 suitable localities, where ducks resort plentifully ♦ F. peregrinator would 

 appear to be chiefly a Malayan species, and the specimen of it originally 

 obtained by Sundevall was obtained on board ship, in lat 6°, between Ceylon 

 and Sumatra, about seventy miles from the Nicobar Islands. 



[Major Lloyd has sent me an undoubted example of this Falcon, shot 

 near Tonghoo.]
