thofe countries where Eagles live, it is not fafe to 
Jeave infanss out of doors. Two little children 
in Scotland were carried away by fome Eagles to 
their young ones; but the Kagies were feen as 
‘they were fying away, and fome people climbed 
up to their nefts, and brought away the infants 
before they were much hurt. 
The emperor of “Thibet, in Afia, has many 
Eagles, who are taught to hunt and kill hares, 
deer, and foxes; and fome of them have fo much 
courage, that they fy down upon the wolf, and 
attack him with great fury. Another kind of 
Eagle is called the Black Eagle; there are many 
of thefe in Scotland; they will kill deer, and in 
the ifland of Rum, (which is on the weftern coaft 
of Scotland) there is not one left; the Eagles 
have killed them all. : 
‘Once there was found in the Peak of Derby- 
fhire a neft of the Ringtail Eagle; it was made 
of great fticks; one fide refted on the edge of a 
rock, the other on two birch-irces; upon the 
fticks there was a layer or covering of rufhes ; 
over the rufhes, a covering of heath; and then 
another layer of, rufhes. There was only one 
young one found in the neft, and an addle egg ; 
by thefe were three heath-cocks, a lamb, and a 
| hare ;
