J T is very probable that my Black and Ring-tailed Eagles differ
only from climate, as they feem to vary chiefly in having the
breaft plain, or marked with white fpots. Both inhabit Hudjon's
Bay, appearing firft in March : they build on the tops o f trees,
hatch two young in May, and depart in Autumn. That called the
Black Eagle is known. by the name o f Kethewuck-michefue; the
Ring-tail, Api/k-michefuc. Mr. Hutchins, to whom I owe this lafl:
remark, obferves, that the Black, Ring-tail, and White-headed
Eagles o f America, are inferior in flze to thofe o f North Britain.

rT rH IS fpecies is obferved to be larger in North America than in
Europe. It is common in Rußa and, Sibiria; found in fum-
mer even on the arbiic coaft, and no lefs frequent about the Cafpian
lea.
I f a conjefhire may be had o f its being the bird mentioned by
Kolben, is found alfo at the Cape o f Good Hope, where he fays it feeds
on the land Tortoifes, carrying them to a great height in the air,
and letting them fall upon fome rock, in order to break the lhells>
whereby it may get the more eafily at the meat.
