 Spizaetus philippensis , Gurney, Gould, Birds of Asia, pt. 15 (sub Spizaeius alboniger), "Philippine 



Islands" (June 1, 1863). 

 Spizaetus kienerii, Gervais, Guerin, Mag. Zool. v. pi. 35, " Himalayas " (1835) apud Schlegel,

Hab. Luzon (Gevers). 



The figure is taken from the first of the two examples described by Mr. Gurney (I. c.) ; 

 and it will be observed that the Philippine bird nearly resembles the small South- 

 Indian and Ceylon race, L. ceylonensis (Gm.). L. kienerii may likewise occur in 

 Luzon ; but the single individual in the Leyden Museum, doubtfully referred to it by 

 Professor Schlegel, does not agree with what is known of either the young or adult 

 plumage of that well-marked species. 



Le Secretaire, Sonn., Voy. Nouv. Guin. p. 87, pi. 50, on which were founded the 

 Otis secretarius, Scopoli, Del. Fl. Faun. Insubr. ii. p. 93, no. 83 (1786), and GyjJo- 

 geranus philippensis, Ogilby, P.Z.S. 1835, p. 105, is now known to be indigenous to 

 Africa only, although stated by Sonnerat to likewise inhabit the Philippines.
