THE BIRDS OF THE LUCKNOW CIVIL DIVISION. 7 
usually rests, abound. I have not unfrequently seen it in the 
dry beds of jhils, devouring crabs, wherever it got them from, 
and on one or two occasions eating carrion. The specimen, 
whose dimensions are given above, was shot while feeding on tue 
earcase of a sheep with a lot of Vultures around it, the locality 
being a dhak jungle. int 
27 dis.—Aquila nipalensis, Hodgs. 
31st January, Male.—Length, 31:75; expanse, 73°50; 
wing, 22:75; tail, 13°; tarsus, 3°38; bill, from gape, 2:90; 
weight, 5°25 lbs. Cere and legs yellow; irides light brown. 
The Bifasciated Eagle isnot quite so common as the last, but 
like it, my only specimen, was shot while feeding on the carcase 
of asheep. It appears to frequent the same localities, but I 
know nothing particular in regard to its habits. 
28.—Aquila clanga, Paid. 
15th February, Female, juv.—Length, 27°; expanse, 
69°25; wing, 21-; tail, 11°70; tarsus, 3°60; bill from gape, 
2°30; weight, 44 1bs. Irides dark brown; cere and feet 
yellow. 
I know but little regarding the Spotted Eagle. It appears to 
be about as common as any species of Eagle (A. vindhiana 
excepted), and seems to frequent the same localities as the rest. I 
procured a specimen frequenting rather tall dhak trees along a 
stream, in a locality where Eagles are rather numerous, é.¢., near 
the Rahimabad Railway Station.* 
29.—Aquila vindhiana, Frankl. Native name— 
Wokhab. 
12th November, Male.—lLength, 26°25; expanse, 66°25; 
wing, 16°50; tail, 11-70; tarsus, 3°; bill, from gape, ; weight, 
22 lbs. Irides brown ; cere vellow. 
The Tawny Eagle is a common and permanent resident. I 
have frequently seen it in my own compound and in the 
gardens about Lucknow; but its favorite resort appears to be 
dhak jungle or open country where solitary trees abound. 
33.—Nisaetus fasciatus, Vieill. Native name— 
Churwa (*) 
Bonelli’s Eagle is not common, at least I have never found 
it so. I have only a single specimen (female juv.) and can give 
no particulars of its habits from personal observation. 
Se 
* Aquila fulvescens, Gray, the Buff Eagle, ought also to be included, as I have 
seen a specimen killed in the neighbourhood of Lucknow.—A. O. H.
