SCLAVONIAN FALCON. 



Falco Sclavonicus. F. cera lutea, pedibus, exceptis digitis, 

 lanatis, corpore festaceo maculis nignSj capite ^ collo albidiori- 

 bus. Krnm. El. p. 32g. 



Falcon with luteous cere, testaceous body with black spots, 

 .head and neck whitish, and legs feathered, except on the 

 toes. 



Size of a common Cock. Inhabits Sclavonia, 

 and is perhaps no other than a variety of the 

 preceding. 



RANIVOROUS FALCON, 



Falco ranivorus. F, fuscus, subtus alhido tiarius, femoribus 

 crissoque rufo-ferrugineis. Lath. Suppl. Ind, Orn. 



Brown Falcon, beneath varied with whitish, with rufo-ferru- 

 ginous thighs and vent. 



Le Grenouillard. Levaill. Ois, Afr. \» pi. 23. 



Native of the Cape of Good Hope: size of the 

 Moor-Buzzard, to v\diich it is much allied ; builds 

 among rushes, with the stalks of leaves of w^ater- 

 plants, and feeds principally on frogs, and on 

 young water-fowl. A variety^ still more resembling 

 the Moor-Buzzardj has been also observed, and a 

 third quite black with the rump white; but if this 

 be supposed of the same species, it is evident that 

 no dependance can be placed on the proposed 

 specific character.
