LANNER FALCON. 43 



uniform whitish hue, but the other inferior parts are 

 ornamented with cordate markings on the chest and 

 belly, assuming on the flanks more the form of bands, 

 lighter in colour on the thighs. On the under tail 

 coverts the dark spots are generally longitudinal and 

 rather narrow. 



I have been very careful in giving as fully as pos- 

 sible SchlegePs description of this and the two preceding 

 birds, in order that those who have not access to his 

 great work on Falconry, may have an opportunity of 

 understanding the grounds upon which they are 

 constituted distinct species by that able and indefatigable 

 naturalist. 



Good specimens of all are to be seen in the splendid 

 collection of the British Museum. 



We are unable to give a figure, from an authentic 

 source, of this egg.
