28 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 66 



FALCO PEREGRINUS ANATUM 

 Duck Hawk 



One or two were seen alDout the Aleutians (DutciT Harbor and 

 Akutan Pass) on September 12, and a pair were shot at Chamisso 

 Island, August i. The Aleutian birds may have been pealei, but they 

 did not appear to be different from the pair taken. They were 

 probably migrants from some part of the mainland. 



SCOTIAPTEX NEBULOSA (Subsp?) 



June 24, while pushing my way through a willow thicket, a Great 

 Gray Owl was flushed. The density of the thicket prevented the 

 use of the gun. Two days later the same bird was again seen, this 

 time on a little mound in a patch of very wet tundra. A mob of Red- 

 polls, Longspurs and Arctic Terns were darting about his head and 

 he soon took wing. As Mr. L. M. Turner took a specimen of lap- 

 ponica in this locality (the mouth of the Yukon), there is a possibility 

 of the bird seen by me being also this subspecies. When seen on 

 June 26, the bird was watched for a few minutes through a glass, 

 but nothing diagnostic was observed about its plumage. 



[A day or two before leaving Nome a Hawk Owl was reported as 

 having been seen back of the town.] 



SELASPHORUS RUFUS 



Rufous Hummingbird 



A single male was taken at Ketchikan, May 16. 



CORVUS CORAX PRINCIPALIS 

 Northern Raven 



At Ketchikan and Unalaska these birds are very abundant and 

 exceedingly tame. Still they were not easy birds to collect and I got 

 but two or three. They seemed to be able, without apparent effort, to 

 keep just beyond gun range and could carry off a surprising amount 

 of shot. 



North of the Aleutian Islands they are not common. Two or three 

 were seen at Cape Serdze where they were very shy. 



PINICOLA ENUCLEATOR (Subsp?) 



\\'hile we were at Unalaska, May 24, I was told a small flock of 

 " Robins " had been seen in the village. From the descriptions given 

 they were apparently Pine Grosbeaks. The next day I had two of
