Nyika Plateau, July. " This was the only specimen of 

 this grand Eagle we met with. It had just lunched off a 

 young Clip-springer Antelope, and was gorged" {A. W.). 

 The species is known to range over the whole of South and 

 West Africa to as far north as Senegambia, but has not, 

 I believe, been recorded from Eastern Africa north of

 a female and a young bird. The latter was taken from its 

 nest, in a tall tree, when only a few days old, and grew very
