to the faying of the Psatmist, chy youth is renewed 
like the eagles. One of this fpecies, which was 
nine years in the poffeffion of Owen Holland, 
Efq; of Conway, lived thirty-two years with the 
gentleman who made him a prefent of it; but what 
its age was when the latter received it from Ireland 
is unknown. The fame bird alfo furnifhes a proof 
of the truth of the other remark, having once, 
through the neglect of fervants, endured hunger 
for twenty-one days, without any fuftenance what-

_ of Europe and America; that figured by 
Mr. Edwards, differing only in fome white fpots 
on the breaft, from our fpecies. It is frequent in 
Scotland, where it is called the Black Eagle, from 
the dark color of the plumage. It is very deftruc-

and by inceffantly beating it about the eyes with 
its wings, foon makes a prey of the haraffed animal. 
The eagles in the ifle of Rum have nearly extirpated 
the ftags that ufed to abound there. This fpecies 
generally builds in clefts of rocks near the deer 
forefts ;
