the Alexandra District, S. Australia. 399 
TIeracidea orientalis Hartert, Nov. Zool. xii. p. 209 (South 
Alligator River). 
The four examples of this genus from Alexandra differ 
considerably from each other. One is the typical brown 
H. orientalis; two undoubtedly belong to the rufous form 
known as H. berigora; while the fourth appears to be 
intermediate between them, being strongly inclined to 
rufous above but having the brown thighs of H. orientalis. 
This supports Dr. Hartert’s supposition that the two phases 
belong to the same species, and that they are not separate 
geographical races (Nov. Zool. vol. xii. p. 209). Elsey also 
found the two phases inhabiting the same area. Mr. Stalker 
observes that this Hawk generally feeds on lizards.
