CATALOGUE. 
Osprey. Falco Halicetus. It is, perhaps, generally supposed that 
the eggs of the American bird ( Pandion Caroliensis of Prince C. L. 
Bonaparte) may be readily distinguished from European specimens 
by their duller colouring. This, however, does not seem to be 
always the case, as in an extensive series of transatlantic examples, 
there may generally be found some quite equal to European ones in 
depth of colour. During the last season not nearly so many eggs of 
this bird were brought in as in 1855.
