Given to me at Copenhagen by Pastor Theobald, having been 

 received by him from his friend Dr. Kriiper, with the information 

 that the bird always builds in trees. 



[Dr. Kriiper's accounts of the nesting of this and other species of Eagles in 

 Pomerania are published in the ' Naumannia,' 1852, ii. 1. 61 ; and 1853,

AQUILA BONELLII (Temmmck). 

 BONELLPS EAGLE. 



[§ 63. One.— Yxom M. E. Verreaux's Collection, 1861.] 



I have had few opportunities of forming an opinion on the subject; I therefore 

 now separate them more as a matter of convenience than anything else. Those 

 who are interested in the question will find the distinction of the Eastern bird 

 (Aquila clanga, Pall.) forcibly maintained by Professor Blasius in the supple- 

 mentary continuation of Naumann's excellent work (Vog. Deutschl. vol. xiii. part 

 ii. p. 10), to which is added an account of its breeding by Dr. Baldamus. Professor 

 Schlegel (who, however, identifies the A. clanga of Pallas with the F. ncevioides of 

 Cuvier, and consequently with the F. rapax of Temminck) has also some able 

 remarks on the subject (Museum des Pays-Bas, Aquilce, pp. 3, 4). In bestovdng 

 an English name on the Eastern form, I have endeavoured to devise one which 

 seems to be less objectionable than many that might be suggested. — Ed.]
