Case XXIV., 
amongst these will be noticed the Honey Pern or 
Honey Buzzard, as it is more frequently called (Péernis 
apivorus), a not unfrequent migrant to this county, 
where it doubtless formerly bred; but although its 
favourite food consists of the grubs of wasps, and it 
is therefore a positive benefactor, it usually falls to the 
gun of the game preserver. The Long-tailed and 
Andersson’s Perns are both very rare species, the 
latter first described by Mr. Gurney from a specimen 
sent from Damara, S.W. Africa, by Mr. Andersson. 
The Long-tailed Pern (Henicopernis) was procured in 
New Guinea by the celebrated traveller, Mr. A. R. 
Wallace, and the Eastern Keel-billed Pern (Zacherir- 
hamphus), another rare species, is represented by two 
specimens from New Guinea and Borneo respectively. 
Case XXV. 
also contains some rare birds of the genus Aaza, 
none of which occur in Europe, but are met with in 
India, Ceylon, and the Islands of the Indian Ocean. 
Examples of the Great-billed Baza (B. reinwardii), 
collected by Mr. A. R. Wallace, in New Guinea, will 
be found in smali Cases 2 and 3; also of Baza 
gurneyi—a very rare species from the Solomon Group 
—-in small Case, No. 2. Passing from these elegant 
birds we come to the Falcons, some of which are 
small insect-feeding birds; others are possessed of 
great powers of flight, and are strictly carnivorous. 
The extensive genus Z7znunculus is represented by 
twenty-one species, amongst the rarest are Zinnunculus 
arthurt (Gurney) from Mombassa, and 7. alopex 
(Heugl.), the Fox-like Kestrel just added to the 
collection from Keren, Central Africa. In
