GYPOHIERAX ANGOLENSIS, 45 
indistinct bands of ashy grey ; head and neck tawny, with narrow 
central shaft-stripes of dark brown, much broader on hind neck; 
lores whitish; over the eye a narrow line of black feathers; ear- 
coverts a little browner than the head, washed with tawny and 
narrowly streaked with darker brown; under surface of body light 
orange tawny; the throat whitish and streaked with narrow shaft- 
lines of dark brown extending on to the chest, but absent on breast 
and abdomen, which are much varied with white bases and bars to 
the feathers ; the under tail-coverts white, with broad bars of tawny. 
The description of the young bird is from the Museum Catalogue. 
It should be noted that the adult form of this Harrier Hagle with 
the black breast-band and white under-surface has not yet been met 
with north of the Equator, and it is considered by some ornitholo- 
gists that two species are confounded under the name of C. cinereus.

39. CrRCAETUS FASCIOLATUS. Banded Harrier-Hagle. 
This species, which is quite a distinct one, does not appear to 
come within the limits of the Cape Colony, and as far as we know 
at present is confined to Natal. Mr. Gurney, writing in 1868, says: 
“Tt appears to be very rare, and I have only seen three examples of 
it, which were all obtained in the Colony of Natal.” Mr. Ayres 
states that it inhabits the dense bush along the coast. Mr. Gueinzius 
found the stomach of one full of termites. 
General colour above brown ; below, throat and chest light brown ; 
chin white; belly, breast, and flanks white banded with brown; 
tail yellowish brown with four bands of dark brown, tip edged with 
white ; irides, legs and cere yellow. Total length, 25 inches; wing, 
14-6; tail, 10°5; tarsus, 3:4.

40. GyPoHIERAX ANGOLENSIS. Vulturine Sea-Eagle. 
The occurrence of this bird below the River Quanza, which we 
have assigned as the northern limit of this work, compels us to 
include it here, but it is strictly a West African bird, and cannot be 
found in any numbers below the above-mentioned river. Neverthe- 
less, Heer Sala, a Dutch collector, obtained an example at Katten- 
bella in Benguela on the 10th of December, 1868. In recording 
this specimen in a paper on Angolan birds forwarded by Mr.
