the middle of the tail, and perhaps some white on the under tail coverts. It 
flew exactly like a Turkey Buzzard, its wings held at an upward slant.’ This 
bird, he thinks, must have been a Zone-tailed Hawk. On April 24, 1889, Mr. 
Anthony found two pairs nesting on San Pedro Martir, “ at elevations of 7000 
and 7500 feet,” and one of the birds was secured. 
B. abbreviatus has occurred in southern California a little north of San Diego, 
and is common in southern Arizona and thence southward through Mexico 
and Central America into northern South America. 
Archibuteo ferrugineus (Licut.). 
Frerruainous RovuGH-LEG. 
On November 28 Mr. Frazar obtained two Ferruginous Rough-legs on the 
summit of the Sierra de la Laguna. One he shot ; the other had been killed 
the day before by a hunter, who claimed to know the bird perfectly well, and 
who asserted that it occurs regularly on this mountain in winter. Mr. Frazar 
did not hear of it elsewhere, and it does not seem to have been reported from 
any other part of the Peninsula, although it is common in California. The 
Cape Region perhaps represents the extreme southern limit of its wanderings 
on the Pacific coast. 
Haliaeetus leucocephalus (Linyy.). 
Bap EHAGus. 
This Eagle must be rare in Lower California, for it has not been previously 
reported from any part of the Peninsula. Mr. Frazar, however, obtained defi- 
nite proof not only of its presence, but of its breeding in the Cape Region, 
for he was shown a young captive bird in the possession of Mr. Viosca, the 
American Consul at La Paz, which that gentleman assured him had been 
taken from a nest on Espiritu Santo Island two years before. It was in the 
brown plumage when first examined (in January, 1887), but eleven months 
later exhibited some white on the head and tail. Mr. Frazar also saw a nest 
on the Gulf coast of the Peninsula opposite Carmen Island, which was evi- 
dently not an Osprey’s, and which the people living in the neighborhood 
asserted had been occupied for several years by a pair of Eagles. 
The Bald Eagle is found throughout California to the extreme southern 
border of the State. Dr. Brewer states 2 that it ranges as far south as Central 
America, but gives no specific records of its occurrence south of the southern 
border of the United States.
