BIRDS OF NORTH AND MIDDLE AMERICA 457 



through New England (formerly [Maine (Sandy River) ; New Hamp- 

 shire (North Conway); New York (Adirondacks)], not found now 

 except locally); formerly New Jersey (Stag Lake) and southeastern 

 Pennsylvania (Lancaster County); western Maryland; and central 

 and western Virginia (Blacksburg; Corrington; Upperville), West 

 Virginia, to western North Carolina (Weaverville) ; eastern Tennessee 

 (Mount LeConte; Chilhowee Mountain) in the east, and to Texas 

 (Kerrville; Rock Springs; Chisos Mountains, etc.). 



Although the species is known to occur in winter at the northern 

 limit of its breeding range, it appears that the majority of the northern- 

 most breeding individuals wander southward during the winter. 



Casual in Florida (De Funiak Springs, Tallahassee, Fort Drum); 

 Alabama (Florala; Preston; Florence; Prattville); Louisiana (near 

 Pioneer, Jackson; Washington Parish; Bayou Maringouin; Bogalusa; 

 Beauregard Parish). 



Type locality. — Canada-Hudson Bay, ex Edwards.^* 



3^ Although but a single race of the golden eagle occurs in North America, it 

 may be mentioned that several other subspecies, only slightly differentiated from 

 it, are to be found in parts of the Old World. Of these, the following four may be 

 mentioned here, as they are the only ones at all likely ever to wander to the regions 

 under discussion in this work: 



1. Aquila chrysaetos chrysaetoa (Linnaeus) 



Falco Chrysaetos Linnaeus, Syst. Nat., ed. 10, i, 1758, 88 (Europe, restricted type locality, Sweden, ex 

 Faun. Suec). 



Paler and slightly smaller than canadensis, with the tarsal plumes still paler 

 and mottled with whitish in the adult. 



Range. — Scandinavia and northern Russia west to the Caucasus and Asia 

 Minor, east to the Pyrenees. 



2. Aquila chrysaetos fulva (Linnaeus) 



Falco fulvus Linnaeus, Syst. Nat., ed. 10, i, 1758, 88 (Europ8= England, ex Ray). 



Very similar to chrysaetos, but the tarsal feathers light rufous-brown with 

 whitish mottlings. 

 Range. — British Isles. 



3. Aquila chrysaetos japonica Severtzov 



Aquila fulva japonica Severtzov, Nouv. M6m. Soc. Imp. Nat. Moscou, xv, livr. 5, 1888, 182 (Japan). 



A dark race, similar to canadensis in color, but smaller, and with the inner webs 

 of all the remiges longitudinally mottled with white. 



Range. — Japan, Korea, and probably northeastern China. 



4. Aquiia chrysaetos kamtschatica Severtzov 



Agvilafutva kamtschatica Severtzov, Nouv. M6m. Soc. Imp. Nat. Moscou, xv, livr. 5, 1888, 180 (Kamchatka). 



A very large form with the tibial plumes blackish, reaching to the claws; tarsi 

 buff. 



Range. — Kamchatka.
