NOTES FROM THE SOUTH. 623 



past few weeks and had done a great deal of damage among 

 the goats. 



AQUILA N^IVIA. Lesser Spotted Eagle. 



During March one of these birds often crossed from the 

 mainland to Lacroma, and in April I also saw several in the 

 Herzegovina. 



PSEUDAETUS BONELLii. Bonelli's Eagle. 



I believe that 1 saw this eagle in the Herzegovina, but can- 

 not be certain. I hear, however, from good authority that it 

 is not very uncommon there. 



HALIAETUS ALBICILLA. Sea-Eagle. 



On March 18th I saw a very old pale yellow bird with a 

 white tail flying along the rocky coast not far from Antivari. 



STRIGICEPS PALLLDUS. Pallid Harrier. 



Often seen skimming over the low scrub and stony plains 

 of the Herzegovina and Dalmatia in the middle of April. 

 After the beginning of April five or six frequently came to 

 Lacroma in stormy rainy weather, and cruised round the little 

 hill at the north of the island. 



CIRCUS RUFUS. Marsh-Harrier. 



Often visited Lacroma in company with the Pallid Harrier. 

 In April I observed some in the marshes of the Narenta, and 

 at the Lago di Vrana and Nona in Northern Dalmatia. 



CIRCAETUS GALLICUS. Short-toed Eagle. 



Observed during April near Trebinje in the Herzegovina. 



BUTEO VULGARIS. Common Buzzard. 

 In March I sometimes saw this Buzzard on Lacroma and 

 in April in the Herzegovina.
