This very interesting bird is one of the rarest 
British Falconidee, and is in much request by 
collectors. We have only seen one newly taken 
specimen, which was killed in some part of the 
Lothians, but we are aware that seven or eight 
birds of this species have been killed within the 
last five years in the counties of Northumberland 
and Durham ; three of which we saw soon after 
they were skinned ; the whole were procured 
during the autumnal months, or between August 
and November, and were probably individually 
driven out of the line of the equatorial migration 
from the northern parts of continental Europe. • A 
specimen was also lately killed near Drumlanrig, 
which came into the possession of J. Bushnan,
