LIST OF DIURNAL BIRDS OF PREY. 



^ Mr. Sharpe includes A. harthelcmyi amongst the synonyms of A. chrysaUus. I 

 consider it a separable race, subspecifically distinct, but only distinguishable when in 

 full plumage, in which state the remarkable white feathers at the junction of the body 

 and the wings are an unmistakable peculiarity, and curiously similar to the corre- 

 sponding feathers in Nisaetus fennaius. M. David speaks of having seen in China 

 Golden Eagles with white feathers " aux epaules," and Mr. Seebohm of having heard 

 of such an Eagle in Scotland (see the references to these authors under the head of 

 Aqidla chrysaetus). 



^ Mr. Sharpe applies to tliis Eagle the specific name of " heliaca" and to A. 7iipa- 

 lensis \hat o{ " mogilnik." 



' A. nifalensis is figured by Gi-ay and Hardwicke under the specific name " bifas- 

 ciata."
