'■ Mr. Gould referred this species to the genus Aqnila. 



^ Audubon uses for this species the name of "Falco chrysa'etos" and Messrs. Baird, 

 Brewer, and Bidgway that of ^'Aquila chrysaefus, var. canadensis." 



3 One of these specimens is that killed at Skerme, near Driffield, in December 1861, 

 and recorded in the 'Zoologist' for 1862, p. 7880; it was presented to the Norwich 

 Museum by Mr. Francis Hoare. It is remarkable that this species should be so rare as 

 it is in England, notwithstanding its not unfrequent occurrence in Scotland.
