642 SUPPLEMENT. 
years ago. Last year several were noticed soaring over a large ravine some 
twenty miles distant from the scene of the former capture; and though an egg 
was found it could not be authenticated and was left. Last month we were 
fortunate enough to secure three eggs in this same locality, the bird being shot. 
Some ten or twelve more were seen; but time did not allow of a longer search.” 
I accordingly asked Mr. Stevens to let me know when he received these eggs from 
Dr. Cullen, and he did so, whereupon I bought them; but it must be observed 
that they are inscribed with “ Bird well seen,” and not “ Bird shot,” as one would 
have expected, and also as having been taken in April, and not in May; but this 
last may have been a pardonable mistake of the Doctor's, writing, as he did, 
early in June. 
Aquita FasciaTa, Vieillot. (A. bonelliz, Vol. I. p. 44.) 
§ 5942. One.—Near Alora, Andalusia, 6 March, 1871. “H.S.” 
From Mr. Saunders’s Collection. 
This was lot 219 at the sale of Mr. Saunders’s Collection, 17 May, 1877, and 
was entered in the Catalogue as being “from a well-known pair of birds.” 
Mr. Saunders, who was present at the sale, assured me that it could be trusted, 
though I do not think he said that he took it himself.

From Lord Lilford. 
§ 5944. One.—San Ildefonso, 7 June, 1865. 
Lord Lilford wrote to me from Paris, on his way back from Spain, 15 July, 
1865 :—“I think I got ten eggs of Aguila pennata, but some of them in such a state 
that we had to perform the regular Cesarian operation. However, I can let you 
have two good ones. There is no doubt about them, as in almost every instance 
the bird was shot from the nest, or, if not shot, clearly distinguished.”

Mr. Dresser, 1868. 
Taken by Manuel de la Torre, who was so often with Lord Lilford. 
§ 5946. Two.—Spain, 4 May, 1872. From Lord Lilford, 1873. 
These, Lord Lilford told me, were out of a nest from which the bird was shot.
