488 Mr. F. W. Styan on the Birds of 



central provinces by David ; so there can be little doubt 

 that some of the large Eagles seen on the high ranges of 

 the Yangtse are of this species. 



203. NisAETUS FAsciATUs (Vicillot). 



One in the Shanghai Museum was shot near Kahing in 

 winter, and I obtained one myself in the same district. 

 Further up the Yangtse I have seen birds which appeared to 

 be of this species. 



204. Haliaetus albicilla (L.). 



Common on the Yatigtse in winter. They breed, I am 

 told, on Bonham Island, and probably on other rocky islets 

 off the coast. 



205. Spizaetus nipalensis, Hodgs. 



(14.) David mentions one obtained near Nankin by Pere 

 Heude. 



206. AsTUR cucuLoiDEs (Temm.). 



(35.) Found nesting in Kiangsi and Chekiang by David. 

 I obtained a fine adult male in the Lushan Hills on 26th 

 May. 



207. AsTUR soLOENsis (Lath.). 



(36.) Ranges from Pekin to South China, but I have 

 never come across it. 



208. ACCIPITER NISUS (L.). 



(38.) Common all winter, its numbers being increased in 

 spring and autumn. Few, if any, remain to breed. 



209. AcciPiTER viRGATus (Tcmm.). 



(37.) I have one taken at Shanghai 28th May, and 

 another at Kiukiang 10th October. In the Shanghai Museum 

 are a pair which were taken at sea, between Shanghai and 

 Nagasaki, on 6th May. 



210. BUTASTUR INDICUS (Gm.). 



(25.) Passes through on migration in March and April. 

 A good number travel together, and remain a week or so 

 among the hills on their way ; they seem to avoid the 

 plains.
