collected in South-eastern Sumatra. 53 



The above length of wing is very small when compared with 

 the 16' 5 inches attributed to the female of this species by- 

 Mr. Sharpe, who_, however^ does not seem to have examined 

 a Sumatran example. The small difference in size o£ wing 

 between the two female birds collected by Mr. Forbes is 

 scarcely sufficient to make one believe in the existence of two 

 species in Sumatra; but the colour is very different, and 

 Mr. Sharpe tells me that, as far as his experience goes, the 

 female of S. pallidus is always as light-coloured as the male, 

 and he has seen plenty of specimens from Borneo, and never 

 yet saw one approaching the dark brown of S. bacha. To 

 any one working at this difficult genus of Eagles, I shall be 

 glad to lend these two Sumatran skins collected by Mr. 

 Forbes.

The measurements of No. 338 a, which seems to me to be 

 an old bird, slightly exceed those of the one described by 

 Mr. Sharpe (I.e.), the wing measuring 14*2 and the tarsus 

 2*8 inches.
