A handsome immature female example of the Golden Eagle 

 was bronght to me on the 21st of November, 1915. It had 

 just been- shot a few miles outside the Great Wall, north- 

 east of Shanhaikuan. The soft parts were as follows : Iris 

 hazel brown ; cere and gape pale yellow ; bill horn-colour, 

 blue at the base ; feet pale yellow. Its proportions are : Bill 

 from gape 2'5 in. ; wing 24*80 in. ; tail 12 80 in. ; tarsus 

 4'oOin.; total length, 33 in. The tail is white or grey with 

 a broad terminal black band. The skin of an adult was 

 offered to me for sale on the 11th or 12th of April, 1916. 

 The tail in this specimen was grey, waved with brown. 

 Pere David mentions the Golden Eagle as ijeing common in 

 the mountains of Chihli. It is doubtless a resident in this 

 part of the province.

I have an example of what I take to be the Eastern 

 Steppe Eagle, from Chihfcng in outer Chihli, for which I 

 am indebted to Mr. A. L. Hall. This bird is apparently 

 adult. The tail is obsoletely barred with greyish. In its 

 dry state the bill is blackish, the cere yellow, feet pale 

 yellow. The nostrils are oblong and obliquely pierced. 

 The proportions are as follows : — Bill from gape 2*9 in. ; 

 culmen from cere 1 in.; wing 24 in. ; tail (worn) 11*5 in. ; 

 tarsus 3*7 in. ; middle toe without claw 2'5 in.
