The excess in favor of the Guzerat avi-fauna is due princi- 
pally to the large number of water birds found there that do 
not visit us. We doubt not that a collection made in the 
vicinity of Bombay in the cold season would so largely increase 
our list that the excess would be in our favor.

28.—Aquila maculata, Gmelin (Aquila clanga, 
Pallas), the Spotted Hagle. 
THERE appears to be so much uncertainty as to what 
species Aquila nevia of Gmelin, Brisson, and the old authors 
really is, that it appears to me desirable to use instead Gmelin’s 
term maculata, which is founded upon Latham’s description 
of the “ Spotted Eagle,” 
This latter description is very clearly defined, and together 
with his observations upon the names and geographical dis- 
tribution of the species, fixes the bird beyond all doubt as 
the greater Spotted Eagle. 
Aquila nevia of Schwenckfeld (the original describer of 
nevia) is, Mr. Dresser informs me, the common Buzzard, 
this being the ease, it is not desirable to continue the use of 
the term for the Spotted Eagle.
