Phalacrocorax penicillatus (Branpr). 
BRANDT’S CORMORANT. 
Phalacrocoraxr penicillatus BELDING, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., V. 1883, 545 (Cape Re- 
gion), 548 (San José). Bryant, Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci., 2d ser., II. 1889, 257 
(Cape Region). 
Mr. Belding states that Brandt’s Cormorant was “abundant” at San José 
del Cabo in April and May, 1882. It also receives nominal mention in his 
list of species “ common to most or all of the localities where collections were 
made.’ Mr. Frazar does not refer to it in his field notes, but his collection 
includes five young birds in the brown plumage taken at La Paz in January. 
To the northward of the Cape Region the species has been met with by Mr. 
Belding at Coronados and Cerros Islands, and at “ several intervening points,” 
while Mr, Bryant has found it “at Magdalena Bay and for many miles up the 
estero.”” Its general range extends from Cape St. Lucas to Washington. It 
breeds abundantly on the Santa Barbara and Farallon Islands.

Phalacrocorax pelagicus Savin and Gopmay, Biol. Centr.-Amer. Aves, III. 1901, 152, 
part (crit.; Cape St. Lucas). 
According to Baird, Brewer, and Ridgway’s Water Birds, Ridgway’s Manual, 
and the A. O. U. Check List, this form ranges from Washington to Cape St. 
Lucas and Mazatlan on the western coast of Mexico. I can find no more defi- 
nite evidence of its occurrence in the waters of the Cape Region, but Mr. 
Bryant states 1 that it has been “seen near Todos Santos Islands [off the north- 
western coast of the Peninsula] upon one occasion in May by Mr. Anthony.”
