By P. L. SCLATER, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S., Secretary to the Society. Mr. J. H. Gurney has kindly placed in my hands for examination a skin of a small species of Accipiter from New Granada which is unknown to him. During a recent visit to Paris I have taken the opportunity of comparing this specimen with the fine series of Rapacious Birds belonging to the Muse'e d'Histoire Naturelle in the Jardin des Plantes, in doing which I had the advantage of the assistance of my friend M. Jules Verreaux, Aide-Naturaliste to that establishment. |
