44 NoVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXV, lSl8. 



in the Palatinate in Bruch's possession in Mayence. The description is peculiar ; 

 the nostrils are described as " halbmond-oder ohrmuschelformig," which would 

 agree with Aquila nipalensis orientalis rather than with danga, but the locaUties 

 and some other details point to the latter. One might, therefore, quote the 

 name bifasciata Brehm (1824) with a query and " partim " among the synonyms 

 of A. nipalensis orientalis. In any case the pubUcation of the name in 1824 

 makes it now quite certain that A. bifasciata Gray (1830-32) cannot be used for 

 the eastern form, A. nipalensis nipalensis Hodgs.] 



228. Aguila Mviventris Brehm = Aquila danga. 

 Aquila fulviventris Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 10 (1855— Egypt, Germany) ; id., Allg. D. Naturh. Ze.it. 

 1856, p. 14. (Menzaleh Lake, and one specimen from Gera in the collection of the prince of 

 Schleiz.) 

 Type : ' $ annuus, Lake Menzaleh, Egypt, 4. iv. 1849. A. E. Brehm leg. 



229. Aauila subnaevia Brehm = Aquila pomarina pomarina. 

 Aquila subnaevia Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 10 (1855— Greece) ; id., Allg. D. Naturh. Zeit. 1856, p. 20. 

 (Better description.) 



Type : (J ad., Greece, vii. 1847. On the label : " Differt ab omnibus similibus 

 dimensione minori." Though a very small specimen, a typical A. p. pomarina. 



230. Aquila assimUis Brehm = Aquila pomarina pomurina. 

 Aquila assimilis Brehm, Allg. D. Naturh. Zeit. 1856, p. 20 (Pommern). 



Type : <? ad., Pommern, v. 1822. On the label : " Differt ab Aquila naevia 

 dimensione minori et rostro graciliori." This specimen is perhaps also the 

 tjrpe of Aquila pomarina Brehm 1831. Brehm sometimes altered and shifted 

 his own names, like other authors during his time. 



231. Aquila Wiedii Brehm = Hieraaetus fasciatus fasciatus. 



Aquila Wiedii A. E. Brehm, Naumannia, 1855. p. 25. (Description of a female said tp be in the 

 intermediate plumage changing into the final adult one, which had been caught by Arabs near 

 Tohr on the Red Sea, Sinai Peninsula, on November 17, 1851, and which was bought by A. E. 

 Brehm and preserved. It is interesting to read the full story. I.e.) 



Type : $ Tohr on the Red Sea, Arabia Petraea, caught on 17. xi. 1851. 

 The unnaturally lengthened upper mandible is clearly the effect of captivity ; 

 the tips of the wings and tail are of course somewhat worn. 



232. Aquila minuta Brehm = Hieraaetus pennatus. 



Aquila minuta Brehm, Beitr. z. Vogelk. i. p. 68 * (1820 — Description of a male shot near Neustadt 

 a.d. Oria on October 7, fSlO). 



Type : <? jun. Neustadt, a.d. Orla, 7. x. 1810. 



* A. minuta has hitherto been quoted as of Brehm, Handb. 1831, but it was first described 

 in 1820, as above, and again in Lekrbuch d. Nat. all. eur. Vog. i. p. 21 (1823). 



Under Buteo buteo buteo, Vog. pal. Fauna, p. 1120, the following corrections must be made: 



Falco murwm was first described in Ornie, ii. p. 21 (1826 — Germany), Falto medius. I.e. p, 22 

 (1826— Germany). 



Under Buteo lagopus lagopus, p. 1128: 



Falco sublagopus Brehm, Ornie, ii. p. 24 (1826 — " Er bewohnt das nordliohe Europa, und wan- 

 dert im Winter naoh Deutsohland ").
