. Birds of other lands, reptiles, fishes, jointed animals and lower forms; . es, and foxes, as well as the more helpless fawns, lambs, hares and rabbits, and ducks, geese, grouse, and so on. Very different from the free-roving golden eagle and its allies is the South American HariV-EAGLK. This is a denizen of the forest, of great size and enormous strength, as the powerful bill and feet testify. Whilst othereagles are conspicuous for their powers of flight, the present species is rarely seen on the wing, being strictly a forest-dweller, with short wings;ind tail, and of a somewhat owl-like plumage, the feathers being very soft. At rest it is oneif the most striking of all the eagles. Thehead is crested, the under parts of the body arewhite, and the upper dark grey, banded withblack. It feeds upon sloths, peccaries, and spider-monkeys. So recently as 1897 another forest-dwellingspecies was discovered in the Philippines, and thisalso preys largely upon monkeys. Its nearestally is apparently the harpy-eagle, and, like thisspecies, it is a bird of large size and very. Phcio by Sihalatlic Phuto.

It is further remarkable for theenormous size of the beak, which differs fromthat of all other members of this group in beingmuch compressed from side to side. The sea, as well as the mountain and theforest, is also, as it were, presided over bymembers of this group, which are in consequencecalled Sea-eagles. One species, the White-tailed E.GLE, OR Erne, Is reckoned amongBritish birds, though it is fast verging onextinction. In former days it bred on the sea-cliffs of Scotland and Ireland, and in the LakeDistrict. The nest, or eyrie, as it is called, iscommonly placed on inaccessible cliffs, but some-times on the ground or in a tree, and, as isusual with the group, is made of sticks, witha lining of finer materials.
