EINAR LÖNNBERG, BIRDS FROM BRIT. E. APRICA. 9 



Both these specimens are young and cannot serve to 

 throw any light on the questionable difference between the 

 two assumed subspecies tropicalis and intermedius. 



27. Hieraetus peimatus Gmeltn. — 1 young ?> ^Va, 

 Donya Sabuk. 



Length of tail 223 mm. 



28. Aquila rapax Temminck. — 1 ? ^Vl Juja. »Iris me- 

 dium brown». 



29. Haliaetus vocifer Daudin. — A fine specimen shot 

 by H. R. H. Prince Vilhblh at Athi river, Yata plains, 5th 

 of March. 



30. Periiis apivorus Linné. — 1 specimen ^Vs, Donya 

 Sabuk. 



31. Elanus caeriileus Despontaines. — 1 $ ^^/s, Donya 

 Sabuk. 



32. Cerclmeis tiiiimiiculus Linné. — 1 $ ^Vi» 1 ? ^/s» 

 Donya Sabuk. 



33. Cerchneis naumaimi Fleischer. — I J", 1 $ Va; 2 



cT cT 'h; 1 cT. 1 ? 7a; l J^, l ? ''h; l J', 3 ? ? ^Va, Donya 

 Sabuk. To judge from the number of specimens this Kestrel 

 appears to have been very common at Donya Sabuk. 



34. Bubo maculosus Vieillot. — 1 J" V2, 1 J" ^Va, Donya 

 Sabuk. 



Both these birds belong to the typical larger race, and 

 not to the cinerascens form. This is proved in the first rank 

 by their considerable size with a length of wing amounting 

 to not less than 335 and 341 mm., although both are males. 

 The white of the throat is well developed. 



The above recorded length of wing is the more note- 

 worthy as the single specimen from Kilimanjaro on which 

 Oberholser based his Asio macolosus amerimnus measured 

 only 330 mm. in spite of being a female. 



35. Pisorliina scops Linné. — 1 ^^2, 1 ? ^Va, Donya 

 Sabuk. 



Both these specimens appear to be rather large with 

 the length of wing 156 and 158 mm. 



One of the specimens displays a remarkable irregularity.
