This small Eagle somewhat resembles Aquila ivahlbergi in 

 size and in having a short crest on the hinder part of the 

 crown, but may be readily distinguished from that bird and 

 from Nisaetus pennatus by its having seven distinct dark 

 bars across the tail and some blackish bars on the white inner 

 lining of the wings. Lophouetus occipitalis, the commonest 

 little Eagle in the Nyasa district, has an extremely long 

 crest, much darker plumage, and the tail crossed by only 

 four dark bands. 



L. lucani, in the pattern of the tail and under surface of 

 the wings, resembles the immature stage of Nisaetus spilo- 

 gasler, but is a very much smaller bird, with the wing not 

 more than 15'5 inches, which is the measurement of the 

 wing of a specimen from Delagoa Bay, while in the type 

 from Landana it is 14'6, and in the present specimen 

 only 13-7. 



1 omitted this species in my ' List of African Birds ' 

 owing to the late Mr. J. H. Gurney's remark (' List of 

 Diurnal Birds of Prey,' 1884, p. 53, note 1) that the type of 

 L. lucani seemed to him to be a young Nisaetus spilogaster , 

 apparently a male. 



I may remark that this species sliould be entered in my 

 List (B. Afr. i. p. 149) after Nisaetus, and that before that 

 genus should be added Arcldhuteo layopus, of which there 

 are two specimens in the British Museum labelled " Port 

 Natal."
