ELEONORA FALCON. 47 



a minute description is unnecessary. It has, however, 

 a more general reddish tinge, is larger, and the beak 

 not only more robust, but entirely different in shape 

 when compared with that bird. 



This bird is not figured in Gould's "Birds of 

 Europe." 



As the general colouring and markings of the egg of 

 this bird so nearly resemble those of the Lesser Kestrel 

 on the same plate, we have given a figure of a variety 

 from Thienemann.
