294 Messrs. C. G. Danford and J. A. Harvie Brown on 



*16. Haliaetus albicilla (L.). 



Rare. We saw one bird at the lake at Tohat, in the Mezo- 

 seg. Herr Klir says he has also seen it at Gorbo, near Klaus- 

 enburg. The high mountain-lake of Zenoga, in the Southern 

 Carpathians^ and the willow-thickets on the Strell in winter, 

 are given by Herr Buda Adam as localities. They are found 

 on the mountain -streams when the trout ascend to spawn. 



*17, Aquila chrysaetus (L.). Havasi Sas (Mountain- 

 Eagle) ; Szirti sas (Rock-Eagle) . 



Common^ especially in autumn, when they frequent the low 

 country. They nest in rocks and trees, and have been known 

 to breed so low down as the Hatzeger Wald. We saw them 

 on various occasions at Hatzeg, in the Mezoseg, near Gorgeny, 

 and in the mountains around Fanczal. 



18. Aquila heliaca (Savigny). Kirdly Sas (King-Eagle) . 



Not rare. Hermannstadt and Korosbanya are given as lo- 

 calities by Bieltz, Herr Csato says that it is not uncommon 

 on the Retjezat, and Herr Buda that he believes it breeds 

 there. Herr Buda had one in captivity for some years ; it 

 never assumed the old plumage; and another bird of this 

 species, as Herr v. Pelzeln informed Danford, lived seven years 

 in the menagerie at Schonbrunn without losing the striated 

 plumage of the young bird. 



19. Aquila clanga (Pall.). 



Very rare. It is said to breed in the neighbourhood of 

 Hermannstadt ; and Herr v. Pelzeln thinks it " most proba- 

 ble that it breeds in Transylvania.'^ 



^20. Aquila NiEviA, Gm. Kialtd Sas (Screaming Eagle). 



Common and generally distributed in all woody mountain- 

 ous districts. We saw it at Szent Mihaly, Gorgeny, and more 

 frequently at Fanczal, near which place they were evidently 

 breeding. We were, however, most unfortunate in not being 

 able to obtain any specimens. 



21. Aquila pennata (Gm.). Torpe Sas (Dwarf Eagle). 

 Rare. In July 1859, Graf Lazar records one as having 

 been shot at Benczcncz while it was liunting the Turtledoves
