CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 245 
nests constructed near the top fof tall spruce trees; the sandy 
nature of the soil in their vicinity was not favourable to building 
on cliffs. (Macfarlane.) 
In the spring of 1891 Mr. Hine of Winnipeg found this noble 
bird breeding in a cliff on the Winnipeg River. In June, 1893, I 
saw a golden eagle at Morley in Alberta and was informed a pair 
nested in the Rocky Mountain foothills, My collection contains 
36 eggs of this eagle collected in Californiaand Montana. It lays 
2 eggs, sometimes 3, and some are very heavily marked like buz- 
zard’s eggs. (W. Raine.) 
MUSEUM SPECIMENS 
Four fine specimens from various parts of Canada. 
CXXVII]. HALIAETUS Savieny 1809. 
351. Gray Sea Eagle. 
Flahi@etus albicilla (LiNN.) LEACH 1816 
General in Greenland; has been taken in many places. (Herluy 
Winge.) Inhabits generally and breeds in the whole of Danish 
Greenland, including the eastern coast. Its northern range not 
as yetdetermined. (Arct. Man.) A common resident at Ivigtut, 
Greenland, and breeds there; more common in winter. (Hag- 
erup.) 
BREEDING Notes.—At Ivigtut, Greenland, Mr. Hagerup, 
obtained a clutch of eggs on May 15th that had been taken from 
the nest two weeks previously ; they had been sat upon about one 
week. On June 1oth another clutch was secured that had been 
taken about three weeks before, and these were almost wholly in- 
cubated. It is probable that nests with fresh eggs can be found 
in April. (Chamberlain in The Auk, Vol. V1., 292.) 
I have a set of three eggs taken at Godthaab, Greenland, April 
20th, 1898 ; the nest was built on the ledge of aseacliff. I have 
another set of two eggs taken in South Greenland, June 15th, 
1890. (W. Raine.) 
352. BALD EAGLE. 
Flaheetus leucocephalus alascanus C. H. Townsend. 1899. 
A pair of this species was seen on August 17th, 1896, by Mr. A. 
P. Low near Ungava Bay. Though far from common, it breeds 
in suitable situations in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Bruns-
