Whether some of the visitors expected to see this eagle fed on monkey-flesh I cannot say, but the keepers were continually asked where and at what time the monkey- eater was fed. When it arrived it was in splendid condition and perfect plumage. I was first in the field to get a collection of studies of the animal, which have been reproduced largely, at home and abroad, it being a very scarce bird. Unfortunately it did not do well at the Zoo, refusing to eat after a few weeks, and was removed to other quarters- strange to say. nearly opposite the Monkey House. It soon went out of condition and died without tasting any of its natural food, which it could no doubt scent, being in such close proximity. i ' f.
