The specimens shown in the case were shot at sea off Brighton during the winter of 1870. PEREGRINE. Case 240. Under the heading of " Hawks and the Moors, " the Peregrine has given rise to many dis- cussions in the sporting papers ; some writers declaring that they do but little damage on a Grouse moor, being of opinion that the few birds they take are usually the diseased and weakly, while others class them amongst the very worst of thieves. These discussions evidently being for the most part b...etween falconers on the one side and game preservers on the other, there can be but little doubt that each party takes a rather one-sided view of the case. The Peregrine accommodates itself to the district it breeds in, preying on Grouse, Plover, Ducks, and Pigeons, in the Highlands ; sea birds such as the smaller Gulls and Guillemots, on the islands ; and Partridges, Pigeons, and even the young of the domestic fowl, in the south. It is, however, impossible for anyone to give the true " bill of fare " of a Peregrine, as on examining a dozen nests there will be found the remains of different victims in each.
