BIRDS OF TENASSERIM. 11 



skin the wing measures 7'4 ; tarsus, 1*95 ; bill at front from 

 forehead, 06. 



The specimen is a young one, with buffy edgings to the fea- 

 thers of the back and wings. The throat is pure white, except 

 for a narrow central stripe extending from the chin to the base 

 of the throat. 



27. — Aquila mogiluik, S. G. Gm. 



Davison saw a large Brown Eagle at Tavoy, much larger 

 than hastata, which probably belonged to this species. 



Also at the limestone rocks at Momenzeik, some miles 

 north-east of Moulmein, he picked up a dilapidated carcase, 

 of which he sent me the head and feet, the former still bearing 

 the feathers and showing the buffy orange nuchal patch cha- 

 racteristic of the old birds of this species. 



28.— Aquila clanga, Pall {Fide S. F., IV., 

 pp. 268, 271.) 



Colonel Tickell recorded the occurrence of this species at 

 Dau-lan, Tenasserim. (Vide Ibis, 1876, 332). Davison has 

 never yet seen it. 



31. — Hieraetus pennatus, Gm. (l). 



Thatone. 



Probably occurring in Tenasserim only in the tracts between 

 the Salweeu aud Sittaug, aud west of this latter river. 



[I never saw this species anywhere in Tenasserim except in 

 the dry plains portion bordering on Pegu, where I saw and 

 shot a single specimen. — W. D.] 



32. — *Neopus malaiensis, Beinw. in Tern. 



Mr. Ely th says (B. of B., p. 63) that this species occurs in 

 Tenasserim. 



Davison saw, but failed to secure, a specimen just below the 

 Peak of Mooleyit. 



34.— tSpizaetus limnaetus, Horsf. (4) 



(Tonghoo, Rams.) Teaboo ; Bankasoon. 



Sparingly distributed throughout the province. 



* Hodgson's original name Heteropus (1843), was preoccupied in 1834 by Dum. 

 and Bibr. It seems even doubtful whether bis name Neopus, which was only men- 

 tioned (Gr. Miscl. 81, 1844), can stand ; if not Kaup's name, Onychaetus. of the same 

 year, must be adopted. 



+ I am not sure that the Asiatic Spizaeti are truly congeneric with the American 

 ones. If not our birds, which are all of the niveus type, should stand as Limnaetus 

 (Vig.) ealigatus, (Eaffl.) ; and if as Bernstein (wrongly I think) maintains the 

 uniform brown bird {limnaetus, Horsf.) is distinct, it should pe;haps take the name 

 of L, horsfieldii, Vig.
