86 BALD EAGLE. 
Blasius, Schinz, Lesson, etc.; and in this notice I 
have stated that Professor Moquin-Tandon sent me the 
drawing of an egg, brought with others by Prince 
Napoleon, from the North of Europe. 
In this position of the question, I certainly did not 
feel justified in omitting this bird from the European — 
list. The question is however still open to further in- - 
vestigation, which I hope will be more exact than that 
which it has hitherto received. 
Note—Fatco Levcorypuus. After my notice of this 
bird was in type, I received a letter from Captain Irby, 
of the 90th. Light Infantry, dated Nawabgunge, near 
Lucknow, (in answer to one which I sent him making 
inquiries about this bird,) from which I have much 
pleasure in adding here the following extract:— 
“T lost all my notes when wrecked in the ‘Transit’ 
in July last year, on our way to China; so all the 
information which I can give you about Falco leucory- 
phus will be from memory only. The notice im the 
‘Zoologist’ of January, 1857, contains all I know of 
its habits. The officers of the 97th., who shot the 
only two that I saw, would not part with them, and 
I could only get the sternum of one, which I gave 
to Mr. Gurney. The skins were eventually destroyed 
by accident, except the head, part of the wings, and 
tail of one, which I think are in England now. I 
will write to the owner and try and get them sent to 
you. The two I saw had the head of a dirty white 
colour; back, wings, and tail, of a very dark brown; 
primaries nearly black; breast light brown; bill and 
feet resembling those of H. albicila. I think it is © 
most likely that my birds were specimens of F. macei, 
from what I have since heard. I am sorry not to be © 
able to tell you more about them.”
