  Dr. 
  A. 
  B. 
  Meyer 
  discusses 
  at 
  some 
  length 
  the 
  proper 
  

   determination 
  of 
  the 
  specimen 
  of 
  Aquila 
  from 
  Astrachan, 
  

   obtained 
  by 
  Henke 
  in 
  1874, 
  and 
  referred 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Seebohm 
  

   (Ibis^ 
  1882, 
  p. 
  206) 
  to 
  A. 
  rapax. 
  Dr. 
  Meyer 
  finally 
  comes 
  

   to 
  the 
  conclusion 
  that 
  Mr, 
  Seebohm 
  was 
  correct 
  in 
  his 
  view^ 
  

   though 
  it 
  necessitates 
  an 
  extension 
  of 
  the 
  previously 
  known 
  

   range 
  of 
  this 
  eagle 
  into 
  the 
  delta 
  of 
  the 
  Wolga, 
  which, 
  how- 
  

   ever, 
  is 
  not 
  very 
  far 
  from 
  Turkey 
  and 
  Palestine, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  

   certainly 
  met 
  with.

  a

  tristrami, 
  the 
  author

   new 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  numerous

  based 
  on 
  a 
  specimen 
  in 
  Canon

   The 
  species 
  is 
  allied 
  to
