Marshal], op. cit. xv. p. 352 (Quetta : very common and 
nests) ; Fulton, op. cit. xvi. p. 59 (Chitral : a common 
resident); Ward, op. cit. xvii. p. 928 (common; nests in 
February and March). 
Common and found everywhere from the plains to the 
summit of the Safed Koh, though seldom seen in the plains 
from June till October. 
[1201.] Aquila heliaca. The Imperial Eagle. 
Ward, J. B. N. H. S. xvii. p. 728 (an uncommon winter 
visitor). 
A fairly common winter visitor. Mr. Donald has seen 
one give chase to a Laggar Falcon, and finally force it to 
drop its prey. Immature birds of this genus are frequently 
seen about the grass-farm feeding on offal, mole-rats, &c. 
[1202.] Aquila bifasciata. The Steppe-Eagle. 
Ward, J. B. N. H. S. xvii. p. 336 (abundant in Kashmir).

Fairly plentiful in the cold weather and probably resident. 
Mr. Donald told me that in May 1907, when swarms of 
young locusts were devastating Kohat, he counted in one 
spot alone thirty-five of these Eagles which had apparently 
been gorging on the locusts. Colonel Rattray writes that 
in the Tirah Campaign he often saw this species feeding in 
company with Vultures on dead transport animals near Thall.
