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.
