74. Buteo buteo (L.). [Buizerd]. 



8 specimens killed in winter in the provinces Gelderland 

 and Drenthe. 



75. Buteo buteo desertorum (Daudin). [Steppenduizerd]. 



There are in the collection of Mr. Bn. Snouckaert van 

 Schauburg two specimens of this little buzzard, caught near 

 Delden, province Overyssel, 16 April 1902 and 30 April 

 1904. Mr. Snouckaert has recorded these birds in his orni- 

 thological annual reports (Tijdschr. Ned. Dierk. Ver. VII, 

 1902, p. 267; VIII, 1904, p. 250) under the name of ^wi^o 

 zimmermannae Ehmcke. He was so kind to send me on 

 my request for examination one of these birds, which 

 appeared to me to be desertorum, agreeing with examples 

 from southern Russia in our collection. I use the name 

 desertorum for these South-Russian examples, though I am 

 not quite sure, that this is the correct name for the desert 

 buzzard of south-eastern Europe. 



76. Buteo ferox (Gmelin). [Arendbuizerd]. 



The only specimen observed in our country, is now 

 living in the Zoological Garden at Amsterdam. The bird 

 was captured in the beginning of December 1905 near 

 Amsterdam. 



77. Aquila chrysaetos (L.). [Steenarend]. 



This species has been shot in the provinces Zuid-Holland, 

 Noord-Brabant, Overyssel and Friesland. We possess no 

 example killed in our country. 



78. Aqinla heliaca Savigny. [Keizersarend]. 



Of this species we have also no specimen shot in our 

 country. In 1836 a specimen is said to have been killed 

 in Noord-Brabant near Bergen-op-Zoom (P. Six in Herklots, 

 Bouwst. Faun. Ned. I, 1853, p. 207).
