ARTICLE XVIII. — Catalogue of Birds collected and ohserved 

 around Lakes Superior and Huron in 1860. By Mr. Robert 

 Bell, Assistant to Alexander Murray, Esq., Geological Sur- 

 vey of Canada. 



(From the Report of the Geological Survey for 1860.) 



1. Halicetus leucocephalus, (L.) Bald-headed Eagle. On Sugar Island 



I met with an Indian having in his possession an old 

 female and two young ones shot on the 12th of June. 

 The bodies of the young birds were nearly as large as 

 that of the parent, but almost unfledged. The nest 

 from which the Indian obtained them was on a large 

 dead poplar-tree, standing on low wet ground, near 

 the water. Bald-headed eagles were frequently seen 

 during the summer, often in the act of robbing the 

 industrious fish hawks of their prey.

rior and north of Lake Huron ; rare. 



3. B, Pennsylvanicusl (Wils.) Broad-winged Buzzard. A specimen 



which appeared to be of this species was shot in
