in the Palatinate in Bruch's possession in Mayence. The description is peculiar ; 

 the nostrils are described as " lialbmond-oder ohrmuschelformig/' ^\hich would 

 agree with Aquila nipalensis orientalis rather than «ith dutif/d, but the locaUties 

 and some other details point to the latter. One might, therefore, quote the 

 name bifa.iciata Brehm (1824) «ith a query and " partim"" among the synonyms 

 of A. nijxikii.sis orkntalis. In nwy case the publication of the name in 18J4 

 makes it now quite certain that A. hifnsciata Gray (1830-32) cannot be used for 

 the eastern form, -4. nipalensis nijxilensis Hodgs.] 



228. AcLuila Julviventris Brehm = Aquila clanga. 



Aquila fulvii'entris Brehm, Vwjeljang, p. 10 (1S.55 — Egypt, tiermany) ; id., AUrj. D. Naturh. Zeil. 

 18,^6, p. 14. (Menzaleh Lake, and one specimen from Gera in the collection of the prince of 

 Sohlejz.) 



Type : S annuus, Lake Menzaleh, Egypt, 4. iv. 1849. A. E. Brehm leg. 

 229. Aguila subnaevia Brehm = Aquila pomarina jwrnarina. 



Aqiiiln siibnaeina Brelim. Vorjiljang, p. 10 (1855 — Greece) ; id., Allg. D. Xaturh. Zeit. 1856, p. 20. 

 (Better description.) 



Type : o ad., Greece, vii. 1847. On the label : " Differt ab omnibus siraUibus 

 dimensione minori." Though a very small specimen, a typical A. p. ponuirina. 



230. Aquila assimilis Brehm = Aquila pomarina pomarina. 



Aquila assimilii: Brehm, AUg. D. Naturh. Zeit. 1850, p. 20 (Pommern). 



Type : S ad., Pommern, v. 1822. On the label : " Differt ab Aquila ndevia 

 dimensione minori et rostro graciliori." This specimen is perhaps also the 

 type of Aquila pomarina Brehm 1831. Brehm sometimes altered and shifted 

 his own names, like other authors during his time. 



231. Aquila Wiedii Brehm = Hieraaetus fasciatus fasciatvs. 



Aquila Wiedii A. E. Brehm, Namnannia, 1855. p. 25. (Description of a female said to be in the 

 intermediate plumage changing into the final adult one, which had been caught by Arabs near 

 Tohr on the Red Sea, Sinai Peninsula, on November 17, 1851, and which was bought by A. E. 

 Brehm and preserved. It is interesting to read tlie full story. I.e.) 



Type : ? Tohr on the Red Sea, Arabia Petraea, caught on 17. xi. 1851. 

 The unnaturally lengthened upper mandible is clearly the effect of captivity ; 

 the tips of the wings and taU are of course somewhat worn. 



232. Aquila minuta Brehm = Hieraaetus pennatus. 



Aquila mimta Brehm, Beilr. z. I'ogell: i. p. 08 * (1820 — Description of a male shot near Neustadt 

 a.d. Orla on October 7, 1810). 



Type : <J jun. Neustadt, a.d. Orla, 7. x. 1810. 



* A. minuta has hitherto been quoted as of Brehm, Handb. 1831, but it was first described 

 in 1820, as above, and again in Lehrbuch d. Nat. all. eur. Vog. i. p. 21 (1823). 



Under Buteo buteo huteo, Vog. pal. Fauna, p. 1120, the following corrections must be matlc: 



Falco miirum was first described in Ornis. ii. p. 21 (1820 — Germany), Falco mrdiun. I.e. p. 22 

 (1820— Germany). 



Under Tlnteo lagopus lagopus, p. 1128: 



Fako sublagopua Brehm, Ornis, ii. p. 24 (1820 — " Er bewohnt das nordliche Europa, und wan- 

 dert im Winter nach Deutschland ").
