With regard to the last specimen (m) I may state that I have also 

 seen two adult specimens, both of which I was assured came direct 

 from the Cape ; but of this fact I could not satisfy myself perfectly. 

 Mr. Cassin has recorded this species under the name of H. hlagrus (Pr. 

 Phil. Acad. 1865, p. 4) from Gaboon ; so that it seems probable that 

 this or an allied Sea-Eagle remains to be discovered in Africa.
