112 Zoology. 



Nos. 14, 15. Fair Falcon, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 54. 



Falco clarus, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xiii. 

 These two figures seem to be undoubtedly intended for Astur 

 cinereus* though in the " Catalogue " I referred Latham's " Fair 

 Falcon " to A. novse hollandise. This must be a mistake, but the 

 figures are by no means a good representation of A. cinereus, over 

 which Latham's name will take precedence, and the species must 

 be called Astur clarus (Lath.). 



Nos. 16 and 17. Dark Falcon, Lath. MS. ; id., Gen. Hist. B., i., 



p. 231 (1821). 

 There are now no pictures in the book corresponding to these 

 numbers, which are given in Latham's MS. list. 



No. 18. Ash-headed Falcon, Lath. MS. ; id., Gen. Hist. B., i., 



p. 219 (1821). 

 This is a good figure of Astur approximans, but does not seem 

 to have received a Latin name from Latham. 

 No. 1 9. Hooded Falcon, Latham MS. 



This is Falco melanogenys, Gould. Latham does not seem to 



have given a Latin name to the drawing. Watling's MSS. note 



is : " Half the natural size. It lives on small birds and fish, &c." 



No. 20. Lacteous Eagle, Lath. [MS.] ; Gen. Hist. B., i., 



p. 216 (1821). 

 This is evidently Astur novae hollandise (Gm.), founded on the 

 New Holland White Eagle of Latham's Gen. Synopsis, i., p. 40 

 (1781). The latter seems to have procured the description of 

 the bird from Dr. J. R. Forster. No specimen was in the 

 British Museum at the time. " Name Goo-loo-bee " (Watling.) 

 No. 21. New Holland Sparrow Hawk, Latham [MS.]; Gen. 



Hist, B., i., p. 223 (1821). 

 " Same as No. 22. Small Hawk. Two-thirds the natural size." 

 This is a representation of an adult Accipiter cirrhocephalus ( Yieill.). 

 No. 22. New Holland Sparrow Hawk, Latham MS. " One- 

 third natural size. Native name Goo-roo-ing. It is not a very 

 common Hawk in New South Wales. A dark variety of the 

 New Holland Sparrow Hawk, No. 21." The bird is really 

 Astur approximans. 



No. 23. Barn Owl in Latham's MS. list, but no figure now 

 in the book. 



No. 24. Owl. 



Boobook Owl, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 64. 

 Strix boobook, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xv. 

 Ninox boobook (Lath.), Sharpe, Cat. B., ii., p. 168 (1875).
