"The Cameroon specimen (Sharpe, Ibis, 1904, p. 102) is 

 a Spizattus, and I believe now it is nothing to do with 

 H. spilogaster or H. ayresi " *.• 



With reference to the above-mentioned specimen collected 

 by Sowerby and described by Sharpe (Ibis, 1898), I can only 

 repeat what I have already said on the subject of Aquila 

 ivahlbergi, that this species, normally, eitiier in adult or 

 juvenile plumage, never has asiy white in its plumage, and 

 I have examined a number in all stages and have seen an 

 equal number of living birds, both in captivity and free. 

 Therefore I contend that this specimen_, if rightly referred 

 to A. tvuhlbergi, must be an abnormal and probably 

 albinistic specimen. 



I am, Sii-, 



Yours truly, 

 Iioberts Height.'*, C. G. Fin'CH-Davies, Lt,
