considerably broader than the interspaces. The chin and 
throat, fulvous white; base of the neck in front, and upper 
breast a mixture of brownish and fulvous white, the feathers 
broadly centred with blackish brown, so broadly towards the 
sides as to have only a narrow margin of the paler colour. 
The lower part of the breast, abdomen, vent, sides, flanks, 
axillaries, tibial and tarsal plumes, and lower tail coverts, 
brown of various shades; in some places yellower, in others 
more of an umber tint, with conspicuous, transverse, white, 
or fulvous white bars, narrowest and closest on the tibial plumes, 
broadest and furthest apart on the sides. Larger lower wing 
coverts white, broadly banded with blackish brown; lesser 
lower wing coverts, buffy white, broadly barred with somewhat 
buffy brown.

No. 37. Spizaetus Kieneri, DzSparre. 
THE RuFous-BELLED HawxK-HAGue. 
Nothing is known of the nidification of this species, I myself 
have never even seen a specimen. 
Mr. R. Thompson, (whom I look to for specimens) remarks, 
“T enter this bird here because I have seen it come in at the 
end of April and remain for some time on the lower well 
wooded hills. 
It has a rapid and elegant flight, mounts well, better than 
S. Caligatus or S. Nipalensis, which soar very awkwardly. Its 
ery is also somewhat different from the latter, and resembles a 
chirrup more than a clear metallic note.”’ 
Mr. Wallace has the following brief note on this species 
(Ibis 1868). 
“Spizeetus Kieneri, Gervais, Mag. de Zools. 1835, Ois. pl. 35 ; 
Schleg. Mus. P. B. Astures, p. 11. 
Hab. Borneo (Wall.); Philippines? (Mus. Lugd.); India 
(Jerdon). 
I obtained a single specimen of this small Hagle in Borneo. 
It had seized a Pigeon, which it was devouring when I shot it. 
Wing, 13 inches, the point, 4 inches; tail, 7-5 inches ; tarsus, 2°5 
inches ; middle toe, 1°625 inch; inner toe, 1 inch.”
