268 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. 
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 
thirty-six eggs of this eagle collected in California and Montana. 
It lays two eggs, sometimes three, and some are very heavily marked, 
like buzzard’s eggs. (W. Razne.) 
CXLIX. HALIZHETUS Savieny. 1809. 
351. Gray Sea Eagle. 
Halieetus albicilla (LINN.) LEACH. 1816. 
General in Greenland; has been taken in many places. (Herluf 
Winge.) Inhabits generally and breeds in the whole of Danish 
Greenland, including the eastern coast. Its northern range not 
as yet determined. (Arct. Man.) A common resident at Ivigtut, 
Greenland, and breeds there; more common in winter. (Hag- 
erup.) Lieut. Satterlee of the Corwin found a dead bird of this 
species at Unalaska, Oct. 5th, 1899, which proved to be a young 
female. In a small collection of bird skins bought in the fall of 
1903 by Dr. Dwight and myself from Mr. Fred. Foster, a taxider- 
mist in Victoria, B.C., we found a single specimen of this species in 
first winter plumage.. It was taken on the coast of Vancottver 
island, March 18th, 1898. The range of this bird is thus extended 
almost to Washington, and it seems probable that it will yet be found 
breeding in Alaska or the Aleutian islands. (Bzshop.) 
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 roth another clutch was secured that had been taken about 
three weeks before, and these were almost wholly incubated. It is 
probable that nests with fresh eggs can be found in April. (Chamber- 
lain in The Auk, Vol. VI., 292.) 
I have a set of three eggs taken at Godthaab, Greenland, April 
20th, 1898; the nest was built on the ledge of a sea cliff. I have 
another set of two eggs taken in south Greenland, June 15th, 1890.
