NORTHERN ZOOLOGY. 



three others, which do not enter into his list ; viz. Falco Islandicus, F. cesalon, 

 and Buteo vulgaris ; making in all fourteen northern species. Of the remaining 

 seven * of his list, four f , being inhabitants of the warmer parts only of the United 

 States, do not require any notice from us ; but the other three (Accipiter Cooperii, 

 Buteo Sa?icti Johamiis, and Buteo hyemalis) are said to be northern birds, although 

 we were not fortunate enough to procure specimens of them. We shall, on this 

 account, content ourselves with merely giving the short characters assigned to them 

 by the writer just mentioned. 



" Accipiter Cooperii. Upper plumage chocolate-brown, margined with rufous ; 

 tail ashy-brown, with four black bands ; flag feathers crossed by five or six blackish 

 bands ; under plumage whitish, with a dusky medial stripe. Cere greenish-yellow; 

 iricles and feet bright-yellow. Young male ? Winters in New Jersey." 



" Buteo Sancti Johamiis, black; white round the eye; tail rounded, with narrow 

 bands of pure white, and tipped with dull- white. Young, varied with white, brown, 

 and ferruginous. Winters in Pennsylvania. Rare." 



" Buteo hyemalis. No collar round the face ; wings, when closed, reaching but 

 little beyond the middle of the tail. Common in Pennsylvania all the winter."
