558 BONELLI’S EAGLE IN BOHEMIA. 
spruce on the Finkova, and settled on the ground close to the 
solitary oak below the nursery garden. On seeing the large 
bird some of the mowers began calling out to the keeper. 
This disturbed the Eagle, and it flew away over the Maxthal 
towards the Tummer wood. About half-past three it came 
back again from the Maxthal to the Finkova, and settled on 
one of the high pines at the edge of the meadow, below the 
road now known as the Maxweg. There Kratina stalked and 
shot it. 
These are the full details of the occurrence just as they 
were sent to me. . 
I must conclude by saying that, soon after the bird was 
killed, it passed through the hands of the well-known ornitho- 
logist, Dr. Frié, of Prague, who also determined it as Bonelli’s 
Eagle.
