In giving in the present Number of these Researches the figure of the Falco 
ca?rulescens of Linnaeus, I have in some degree deviated from the plan which I 
proposed to myself at the commencement ; but as I have been enabled to offer to 
the patrons of the Work four original figures in Ornithology, I concluded it would 
not be unacceptable to them to meet, at the side of the largest species of Falcon 
which Java produces, another bird, remarkable on account of its minuteness and 
beauty. The Public has long been acquainted with the Falco cserulescens, which is 
considered as the smallest of the genus, and was first described by Edwards in his 
Natural History of Birds, published in the year 1750, from a specimen forwarded 
to De. Mead from Bengal.
