One specimen, marked c?, Wetter, 14. x. 19U2. " Iris pale brownish yellow

This bird must be my -S'. I. floris., or a still larger subspecies. It is in an 

 immature dress, presumably in its second or third year. The upper surface is 

 deep brown and white, the feathers being dark brown, paler towards the base, 

 those of the hind-neck and back white with large deep brown tips. Tail brown with 

 blackish-brown bars, primaries blackish brown, the inner webs irregularly barred 

 and mottled with white and brown towards the bases. Underside white with 

 blackish-brown shaft-stripes, the feathers of the thighs deep brown, spotted, some 

 almost barred, with white. Under wing-coverts blackish with a few white spots, 

 axillaries black-brown, bases and some spots and patches white. Dimensions very 

 large, larger than in the two adult types of 6'. I. floris. Wings 495 (or nearly 500), 

 tail 270, middle toe without claw 55, metatarsus 95, bill from cere to tip in a 

 straight line 35 mm. 



51. Haliaetus leucogaster (Gm.). 

 Dr. Finsch mentions it as coming from Kisser. We have received no specimens, 

 I might almost say " fortunately," considering how common a bird it is and how 

 much space it takes up in the drawers. 



52. Haliastur Indus intermedius Gurney.

Dr. Finsch mentions Kisser, Babber and Wetter. We received it from Kisser, 

 Moa and Letti, all typical intermnliiis, underneath white with narrow black shaft- 

 lines, like hair-streaks.
