*168. Buteo borealis Vieill. Red-tailed Buzzard. A rather 

 common resident. 



*169. Buteo lineatus Jard. Red-shouldered Buzzard. Com- 

 mon resident. 



170. Buteo swainsoni Bon. Swainson's Buzzard. Accidental. 

 Two instances of its capture thus far on record. (Salem, winter of 

 1871-72, Mus. Peabody Academy; Wayland, Sept. 12, 187G, Brewster, 

 Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, III, Jan., 1878, 30 ) 



*171. Buteo pennsylvanicus Bon. Broad-winged Buzzard. 

 Rather rare summer resident. 



172. Archibuteo lagopus Gray. Rough-legged Buzzard. 

 Rather common winter visitant, but of somewhat local distribution. 



*173. Pandion haliaetus Sav. Fish Hawk. Occasional summer 

 visitant. Formerly bred in the state, but probably nests here very 

 rarely, if at all, now. 



174. Aquila chrysaetus Linn. Golden Eagle. Very rare win- 

 ter visitant. Recent records of its capture are : Munson, Nov., 18G4; 

 Deerfield, Dec. 14, 18G5; Westfleld, three specimens, 18G6 {Allen, Am. 

 Nat., Ill, Dec, 18G9). I have now to add Fairhaven, Nov. 21, 1873, 

 shot by Mr. Nelson H. Stephens. The specimen was sent in the flesh 

 by Captain Charles Bryaut to the Museum of Comparative Zoology, 

 where it is now preserved. 



*175. Haliaetus leucocephalus Sav. White-headed Eagle; 

 Bald Eagle. Rare resident. 



176. Rhino gryphus aura Bidg. Turkey Vulture; "Turkey 

 Buzzard." Accidental. Two instances of its capture recorded, but 

 none since 18G4. 



177. Catharista atratus Gray. Black Vulture. Accidental. 

 Quite a number of instances of its capture are on record. Recent 

 ones are Hudson, 18G8, where several specimens were seen (Allen, 

 Nat., Ill, Feb., 1870, G46). A recent record also for Maine is Calais, 

 18G9 (Boardman, Am. Nat., Ill, 498). 



*178. Ectopistes migratorius Swain. Wild Figeon. Irregular 

 summer resident, not generally common. 



*179. Zenssdura carolinensis Bon. Carolina Dove; "Mourn- 

 ing Dove." Common summer resident. 



180. Tetrao canadensis Linn. Spruce Partridge; Canada 

 Grouse. Accidental. Only two recorded instances of its capture, 

 which are Gloucester, 1851; Roxbury, about 18G5 (Allen, Am. Nat., 

 Ill, Feb., 1870, G3G). 



♦181. Cupidonia cupido Baird. Pinnated Grouse; Prairie 

 Hen. Formerly common in portions of the state, but long since ex- 

 tirpated from all portions except Martha's Vineyard, where a few are 

 said to still exist.
