Monkey-eating Eagle of the Philippines . 
Sept. 3rd, 1904, and is said to resemble the type closely but 
to possess broader shaft-stripes to the feathers, giving the 
head a darker colour than that described by Mr. Ogilvie- 
Grant. 
Capt. Joseph Clemens has published in the 6 Condor 9 a 
photograph of a living specimen which he had kept in a 
cage. It was brought into the market by the Moros, and 
purchased by Lieut. Farrell of the 15th Infantry, U.S.A. 
When a chicken was put into the cage it would take it when 
hungry and eat it all, but otherwise only the entrails were 
devoured. Unfortunately this bird broke its leg in trying to 
force its way out of its cage, and had to be killed. 
Capt. Clemens proceeds : “ I have since skinned and have 
in my collection another specimen, and in this one I found 
a monkey, not yet digested. The paws were torn off and 
swallowed whole, then the next joint, and so on. It was 
eaten hair and all.” 
Mr. Richard C. McGregor refers to these two specimens in 
f The Philippine Journal of Science 9 for October, 1907, and 
to a third specimen procured by Mr. Ickis, Geologist of the 
.Bureau of Science, on May the 11th, 1907. This was 
apparently the first that was recorded from the island of 
Luzon. The head, one wing and one foot only were brought 
to Manila. 
The specimen which has recently come into the possession 
of the Zoological Society of London was secured through the 
untiring efforts of Mr. Willoughby P. Lowe, who has kindly 
supplied me with the following notes on it from his note-: 
book of 1907. 
“ There are in the museums of Manila four mounted 
specimens :—two belonging to St. Thomas’ University—from 
Mindanao and Samar; and two in the museum belonging 
to the Jesuit Fathers, one of which has been exchanged with 
the Bureau of Science. Mr. McGregor also possesses the 
head and feet of another specimen in spirit. 
“ After making inquiries as to which would be the most 
likely place to find Pithecophaga jefferyi near Manila, for I
