Black Sea-Eagle. 
Wing $550, 2 608 mm.; differs from T p. 
pelagicus in the great height of its bill and 
also in having only the tail and under tail- 
coverts pure white ; rest of plumage black, 
the feathers on crown and neck with .a

Gen. LXV. CUNCUMA Hodg. (1857). 
Type by orig. desig. Haliaetus albipes Hodgs. = Aquila leucorypha 
Pall. 
Tail of 12 feathers, graduated; bill weaker, the 
height much reduced. 
1 T. macrurus (Menzb.) from Yakutsk, E. Siberia, is a synonym, based 
on an immature bird, which appears to me generally to have longer primaries and 
onger and more graduated tail feathers than in the adult bird.
