The largest birds (even those twenty times as large as itself) are 

 attacked by it without hesitation, and generally beaten off by the 

 activity and perseverance of their small enemy. The natives fre- 

 quently discover the nest of this Hawk by the parent birds swooping 

 at the heads of those who approach the tree where it is. 



3. Haliastur INDUS (Bodd.). {Along sapa.) 



A very common but exceedingly wary bird, always to be seen sail- 

 ing about. It feeds on snakes, lizards, and offal, and appears to be 

 common all over the East. 



4. Pontaetus ichthyaetus (Horsf.). {Taryanng.) 

 Shot by my hunter. 



5. Spilornis bido (Horsf.). {Rajah wali-Iaut.) 

 Rare, and seen only on the coast. It feeds on fish. 



6. Accipiter virgatus (Temm.), PI. Col. 109. 



This small Hawk was much damaged, having been kept long alive

7. Accipiter soloensis (Horsf.). 

 Received from the Dyak River.

 pt. 12. {Rajah wait.) 



Shot at Pulo-sari. I saw this bird for several days, while we were 

 there, regularly beating the padang ; but one day I got near him as 

 he sat, gorged, on a dead tree. 



Fam. Strigid^.

Common, though rarely seen : its note is a melancholy sound, 

 often repeated, between a trip and a shrill whistle. 



10. Phodilus badius (Horsf.). {Punggu.) 



This bird was brought to me alive, but refused to eat anything ; so 

 I killed and stuffed it. It uttered no sound while I had it. 



11. Scops lempiji (Horsf.), juv. 



Caught by my servant. I do not know this Owl in the adult 

 state. 



Fam. Psittacid^.
