558 BONELLrS EAGLE IN BOHEMIA. 



spruce on the Finkova, and settled on the ground close to the 

 solitary oak below the nursery garden. On seeing the large 

 bird some of the mowers began calling out to the keeper. 

 This disturbed the Eagle, and it flew away over the Max thai 

 towards the Tummer wood. About half-past three it came 

 back again from the Maxthal to the Finkova, and settled on 

 me of the high pines at the edge of the meadow, below the 

 road now known as the Maxweg. There Kratina stalked and 

 shot it. 



These are the full details of the occurrence just as they 

 were sent to me. 



I must conclude by saying that, soon after the bird was 

 killed, it passed through the hands of the well-known ornitho- 

 logist, Dr. Fric, of Prague, who also determined it as Bonelli's 

 Eagle.
