12 | Mr. J. D. D. La Touche—Feld-Notes on 
The female shot by the collectors agrees well in measure- 
ments with a bird in spotted plumage from Foochow. 
I do not know whether this species is common or not. 
The only Eagle noticed near Chinkiang in winter is HZ. albi- 
cilla, but a few miles further up the river I have seen another 
kind, though too far off to identify. The Chinkiang eyrie 
was deserted after the death of the female, but as in the 
following year I saw Eagles circling over the hill, they 
probably continued to breed in the neighbourhood.

This species is abundant and resident. It breeds in 
April and May, the nests at Chinkiang being often placed 
in easily accessible situations. Many pairs build in the pine- 
woods, and I have also taken eggs from ledges of rocks on 
the tops of the hills. I have two obtained from a nest 
built in the chimney of a foreign house on the Concession. 
Eggs taken at Chinkiang are, like those from Foochow, very 
variable.

An adult male which I shot on May 12 resembles 
examples in the British Museum. It has very little red on 
the under parts, and the axillaries and under wing-coverts 
are pure white. Its stomach contained lizards. The testes 
were well developed. Small Hawks of this or the following 
species were numerous on the day when I shot this example.
