Mr. Gurney, to whom, for his kind help in the identification of many of the Raptorial birds, I am greatly indebted, says:-"This specimen shows considerable remains of immature plumage, in which stage this species has not, so far as I know, been yet described. The present example differs from the adult bird in the following particulars : the cheeks are dark chocolate-brown instead of bluish grey; there is much white about the jugulars and breast, probably indicating that in the nestling plumage these parts are entirely white ; the white interspaces between the dark bars on the abdomen and under tail-coverts are larger, and the dark bars smaller, than in the adult; the under wing-coverts instead of being transversely barred with white and dark brown alternately, are all white, with the exception of slight and imperfect brown barring on the lowest row of feathers, and dark shaft-marks on these and on the feathers next the edge of the wing." 19.
