beak black, and toes wax yellow. A younger specimen has 
the drops fewer and smaller on the breast, an admixture of 
rufous about the head. ‘Several unmoulted brown feathers 
among the wing coverts, and one unmoulted tail feather which 
has three narrowish dark bars, with two or more at the base, 
closer and less defined: a remarkably handsome species from 
Malacca, the Tenasserim provinces, and Borneo. 
“The following species are also found on the continent of 
Asia and in the adjacent islands.

Professor Schlegel, though citing the above synonym for 
this species, appears to doubt its being specifically distinct ; it 
is, however, a very well-defined species, differing from S. Albo- 
niger in its larger size, in the absence of a crest, and in the 
strong rufous colouring of the upper portion of the breast in 
the adult bird. It inhabits the Celebes, and, according to the 
authors of the ‘Fauna Japonica,’ is also found in Borneo. 
This species, of which the British and Norwich Museums 
contain fine examples, brought from the Celebes by Mr. 
Wallace, has not yet been figured.

pl. 35 (adult). 
*‘ A specimen in immature plumage, said to have been killed 
on the coast of Scotland, near Aberdeen, in the year 1828, is 
figured in Jardine and Selby’s ‘ Illustrations of Ornithology, 
pl. 66. This species has been observed in Northern and in 
Central India, and it also occurs in the islands of Java and 
Borneo ; but both there and in India, it appears to be a bird of 
considerable rarity. 
“ Spizaetus Philippensis. This specific name I would propose 
for a species of Spizaetus inhabiting the Philippine Islands, 
which appears to me to be undoubtedly distinct, though not 
admitted as such by Professor Schlegel, who is disposed to 
consider it as referable to S. Aieneri (Vide Museum des Pays 
Bas, p. 12,) an opinion in which I am unable to agree. As 
this Spizaetus is at present unfigured, I add the description of 
a specimen in the Norwich Museum, which I suppose to be an 
adult female :— 
“Total length, 25 inches; wing, from carpal joint, 143; 
tail, 113; crest, 24; tarsus, 34; middle toe and claw 3. 
“The general colour of the upper surface in this species is a 
dark umber brown; but the base of the feathers of the crest is
