AUSTRALASIN CINEREOUS EAGLE. 



This is mentioned (perhaps from a drawing) by 

 Mr. Latham, in his second Supplement, under the 

 article Cinereous Eagle. Its size is said to be 

 large, and the general colour of the plumage deep 

 brown, but the under parts much paler, and the 

 wings much darker than the rest: the rump and 

 tail very pale ash-colour, nearly white; and the 

 bill and legs black. Native of New Holland.
