An Albino Eagle.—During June I secured a splendid live speci- men of a white Wedge-tailed Eagle (Uroaetus audax. Lath.), and presented it to the Sydney Zoological Gardens, where it arrived safely, and is now on view. The bird appears to be full grown ; it was captured (being too gorged to fly, probably) at Ridgelands, near Scone, New South Wales, and, I believe, is unique. With the exception of a brown-shaded feather in the wing, the bird is pure white, even to its beak, legs, and feet ; eyes colourless, with dark-coloured pupils.—H. L. White.
