46 LOPHOTEIOECHIS KIENERI. 



Mr. Inglis, in his note on the shooting of a specimen on the hills of Caehar, hears the same testimony to 

 its plucky nature, and says that it fought most fiercely while it was being secured. As observed bj myself its 

 flight was buoyant, but not very swift, resembling somewhat that of the Ceylon Crested Eagle (Spizaetus ceylon- 

 ensis) ; its white chest, contrasted with the dark lower parts, is a conspicuous characteristic when the bird is 

 flying overhead. This Eagle preys on birds and small mammals, being capable, however, of capturing an 

 animal of no diminutive size, so strong are its talons and so bold its disposition.
