LOPHOTRIOKCHIS KTENERI. 
Mr. Inglis, in his note on the shooting of a specimen on the hills of Cachar, bears the same testimony to 
its plucky nature, and says that it fought most fiercely while it was being secured. As observed by 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.
