' Miiller's figure is inscribed " Sjn^^netus zoomrus." The immature specimen figured 

 under the incorrect appellation of " Spizaetus ayresii" in the 'Ibis' for 1862 is one of 

 those in the Norwich Museum ; the type specimen of " Lo^jkoMorckis lucani " of Sharpe 

 and Bouvier, which is preserved in the British Museum, also seems to me to be a yoimg 

 Nisaetus spilogaster, and apparently a male. Limna'ihis africanvs of Cassin appears 

 to me, from his description of the type specimen preserved in the Philadelphia Museum, 

 to be founded on an old male of IS'i^acfus i>]nlog aster, with which the description given 

 agrees very well, except that the length of the wing is quoted as 14 inches, whereas the 

 usual wing-measurement in the male of K s2nlogaiitcr is about 16 inches ; but, on the 

 other hand, Mr. Layard, in the first edition of the 'Birds of South Africa,' p. 14, men- 

 tions a male in which the wing only measured 13 inches. I cannot agree with Sharpe's 

 view {vide Cat. p. 260, footnote) that Limnaitiis africcmus is founded on Aquila wahlhergi. 

 In the 'Ibis' for 1864, Nisaetus spilogot'trr was referred by Dr. Sclater and myself to 

 the genus Spizaetus ; in editing the ' Birds of Damara Land,' I referred it to Pseudaefus.
