Guara alba (Lrxw.). 
WuHiteE Isis. 
Eudocimus albus BELDING, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus., V. 1883, 545 (Cape Region). 
Guara alba Bryant, Proce. Calif. Acad. Sci., 2d ser., II. 1889, 268 (Cape Region). 
Mr. Frazar notes the White Ibis as common about La Paz and at San José 
del Cabo, from whence it had been previously reported by Mr. Belding. It 
appears to be resident, and probably breeds in or near the Cape Region, al- 
though this has not been definitely ascertained. 
Mr. Bryant found White Ibises “tolerably common at Magdalena Bay, 
associated in small flocks and making long flights in line from one feeding 
ground to another. At Santa Margarita Island and along the estero they were 
usually seen roosting upon the mangroves.” 
The White Ibis is a common bird in Mexico, Central America, and the 
northern portions of South America. I can find no records for the Pacific 
coast north of Lower California. 
Plegadis guarauna (Liny.). 
WHITE-FACED Guossy IBIs. 
Plegadis guarauna Betprne, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus., V. 1883, 545 (Cape Region), 548 
(San José). Bryant, Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci., 2d ser., II. 1889, 268 (San 
José del Cabo) ; Zoe, II. 1891, 189, 190 (San José del Cabo). 
At San José del Cabo Mr. Frazar found the White-faced Ibis regularly, in 
small numbers, during September, but none were met with there after Octo- 
ber 1. At Santiago, however, a single bird was observed daily about the 
lagoon up to November 19. Mr. Belding saw a flock in “ April and May” at 
San José del Cabo. 
Mr. Bryant gives no records of the occurrence of this [bis in the central and 
northern portions of Lower California, but Mr. Anthony states that “at San 
Telmo they were usually seen during summer in small numbers about a large 
marsh above the settlement, and I think they doubtless bred there. Adults 
and young were shot at San Quintin in October.” 1 There is no reason why 
they should not breed near Cape St. Lucas, about such lagoons as that at San- 
tiago, for instance, but there is no present proof that such is the case. 
The range of the White-faced Ibis on the Pacific coast extends from Oregon 
to Chili and Patagonia.
