10. Astur macrurus, Hartl.: Sharpe, Ibis, 1870, p. 58, 
pi. iii. 
I have received specimens of this beautiful Hawk from 
Denkera, but know nothing of its habits. 
11. Asturinula monogrammica (Temm.): Finsch u. Hartl. 
Yog. Ostafr. p. 59. 
I observed this Falcon in considerable numbers on the 
Yolta. It is a handsome, bold bird, and is said by the natives 
to be very destructive. 
12. Polyboroides TYPicus, Sm.: Sharpe, Ibis, 1869, p. 194. 
I have only received this pretty Hawk from the interior, 
and am not acquainted with its habits. It does not appear 
to be common. 
13. Huhua leucosticta (Hartl.) : Sharpe, Ibis, 1869, 
p. 387. 
Not very uncommon on the Gold Coast. A fine specimen 
was brought me alive from Denkera. It did not thrive, 
however, and finally died. 
14. Syrnium nuchale, Sharpe, Ibis, 1870, p. 487. 
One adult specimen was brought me alive from Denkera 
by Aubinn; and in my last collection I brought home several 
young birds. 
15. Scotopelia ussheri, Sharpe, Ibis, 1871, p. 101, pi. xii. 
This fine Owl was brought to me from Denkera, where it 
was stated to be rather rare. 
16. Scotornis longicaudus (Y.): Sharpe, Cat. Afr. B. p. 2. 
Not unfrequently found along the roads in Fantee. I take 
the present opportunity of observing that the specimens named 
by Mr. Sharpe Caprimulgus fossii (Ibis, 1872, p. 66) are really 
referable to the present species, which greatly resembles C. 
fossii when the tail is imperfectly developed, as was the case 
with the ones I shot. 
17. Cypselus affinis, Gray : Sharpe, l. c. p. 2. 
One of the commonest Swifts on the Gold Coast; in
