a. t Banks of the Tapeng, 3rd February 1875. 



In my course up the river from Mandalay to Bham6, and from the latter 

 town to Tsitkaw, this Eagle was frequently observed in pairs generally occupying 

 the most prominent tree in the landscape, prominent both by its height, leafless - 

 ness, and by the circumstance of its position. The trees they selected to build 

 on were usually close to the river-bank, and from their altitude above the sur- 

 rounding forest, the birds must have commanded the view of a wide range of 

 country. Their nests were always on the highest fork either of a leafless Bombax 

 malaharicum or on some old and gaunt Dipterocarpus. As TickeU remarks, 

 this Eagle never makes the slightest attempt to defend its nest, and, when 

 fired at, it generally soars aloft for a few minutes and again alights, clanging 

 forth its pecuhar and harsh cry.
