Cathartes aura. -During the latter part of June, 1S92, while spending 

 a few davs at North Truro, I was told that a Portuguese family in the 

 villac^e h^d a living 'Bald Eagle' which they had caught slightly wounded 

 My informant assured me that the hird must be a Bald Eagle, for he had 

 seen it and had noticed particularly that it had no feathers on its head 

 On looking into the matter I found, as I expected, a Turkey Buzzard. 

 The bird had been caught near the boundary line between North Truro 

 and Provincetown about June 20, but refused all food and died the night 

 before mv visit (June 26). It proved to be an adult male in good plumage, 

 but had Evidently received a charge of No. 8 shot, nearly a dozen of which 

 were lodged in various parts of the body.-GERRix S. Miller, Jr.,

Notes on a Few Birds from Northern Ohio. -These notes are pre

Glaucionetta islandica. - An adult female was brought to me by Mr. 

 Warden of Lorain, Ohio, March 30, 1892. 



Clangula hyemalis. -In December, 1891, a large flock of these Ducks 

 staved for a time near Lorain, and numbers were entangled and drowned 

 in the gill-nets that are set in about fifty-four feet of water. One fish-boat

Ardeacoerulea.- There is a fine specimen of this bird in spring plu- 

 mage in Mr. Jump's collection, that was taken near Oberlin about ten 



^'Tr'inla°'canutus.-I have two records of this 'maritime' species, one 

 based on a head that I picked up on the shore of Lake Erie m October, 

 1890, the other on a bird killed by Mr. Harry Warden, of Lorain, and pre- 

 sented to Oberlin College, Sept., 1891. 



Tringabairdii.-I took several specimens Aug. 30, 1890, near Loiam,

 that his cat brought in on April 10, 1892. The specimen was thoroughly 

 examined, but unfortunately was not preserved. _ _
