LITTLE FALCON. 
I find that North has written : “ With a species having so wide a 
geographical range there is the usual amount of individual variation found 
in the plumage of the adults of both sexes, especially in specimens from 
widely separated localities, although occasionally in examples from the same 
district.” This could have been cited as confirming subspecific distinctions, 
but I have been quite unable to fix any subspecies, however I have criticised 
the birds.
