on the wing, is only a summer yisitant to Southern 
Algeria. It breeds on ledges of rocks, and seems to 
prefer the cliffs and open country to the forests. It 
lays two eggs, longer and a little larger than a Buz- 
zard’s, and seldom so richly marked.” 
The figure of this egg is from a drawing sent me 
by M. Moquin-Tandon, who observes,—‘This egg was 
sent to me from the Spanish Pyrénées, by a seller of 
skins. I thought for some time that it belonged to the 
Common Buzzard, or else the Rough-legged Buzzard; 
but on comparing it with two drawings, quite recently 
published by M. Badeker, pl. 1, fig. 8, I discovered 
that I had been deceived.”
