The Peregrine Falcon at the Eyrie

Abstract

MR. HART is quite correct. The term “tiercel” has always been applied to the male peregrine falcon, cf. Newton's “Dictionary of Birds” et passim. The notice in which the quoted sentence occurs was contributed from the reviewer's sick bed, and he is only now aware that a point of interrogation after “his” and before time, which was in his original draft, had dropped from his MS. and its omission had escaped him in the proof.
