 trict, June 12, 1908. 



Bill dusky, base and cere salmon-orange ; feet red ; iris 

 deep reddish brown. 



This is a common species. It seems to kill not a few 

 snakes, as on more than one occasion when I have disturbed 

 it, it has flown off with a snake in its talons.

Circaetus cinerascens v. Miill.; Reich, loc. cit. p. 573.

 feet yellow, claws black ; iris very pale yellow.

Bill blackish, base, cere, and orbit yellow ; feet pale

 these localities.

I observed this bird on two occasions, once in May 1907 

 on the Lualaba R., and again on the shores of L. Young in 

 November 1908. I found it rather shy.
