Birds of the Malay Archipelago. Tom. cit. pp. 215, 216. 
Tho generalities of these papers have been already mentioned (^^Austra- 
lian Region ”). Out of the eighty-seven species enumerated in the first of 
them, fifty-three belong to Falconidce (one of which is described as new), 
and thirty-five to Strigidce. Fourteen of the Fidconidce are common 
to the Indian and Australian portions of the Archipelago, but only one of 
the Strigid^. There are no Vulturidce. The second paper adds three species 
(all Falconidce) to the eighty-seven, and throws some doubt on the newly 
described one.
