 Tucson" (^Hecbert Brozvii). I have records of it as being rare on the San 

 Pedro in late January. 



32. Fulica americana. Common, except during summer, wherever 

 suitable localities present themselves. I have notes of its occurrence about 

 Tucson in late May and early June in pairs. Abundant on the San Pedro
