* In uniting Urubitomis to Harpyhaliaetus, I must state my inability to find 

 any generic distinction between them. At present I beliere that there is only 

 one species, but admit the possibility of two distinct kinds being differentiated, 

 the grey bird {H. coronatus) having a more southern distribution than the black 

 one {H. solitarius).
