Aug. 10, °8T (Fisher). Buncombe Co., 8S. V., com. (Cairns); set 
May 28. °01, for S. B. Ladd (Sharples coll.) ; Weaverville, found 
breeding by John S. Cairns (Bendire); Grace and Craggy moun- 
tain, sets of eggs June 18, ‘94, and May 8, °86, by Cairns (Crandall 
coll.). McDowell Co., Black Mts., 6,000 ft., single bird (Brewster). 
Jackson Co.. Webster, a pair (Brewster). 
SoutH Carorina.—Listed by True; probably occurs, but I have 
no evidence that such is the case (Coues). The record by Mr. F. W. 
True is based on presumptive rather than positive evidence. The 
list is crude and full of errors. Coues’ list is full to overflowing 
with errors. I have but two records on or near the coast. On April 
26, 86, while in the company of Dr. A. K. Fisher, he identified a 
bird of this species which was about 400 yards away. The second 
record is of a specimen that I shot near Charleston on June 15, “89. 
It seems to be very rare even in the primeyal forests. As far as 
I am aware, it does not breed. While it is possible that it breeds 
in the primitive forests, the fact remains that no well authenticated 
record is extant (Wayne ms.). It probably occurs, however, along 
the upper Savannah river (Wayne). 
GerorcIA.—Resident (Cleckly). Does not appear to be common. 
Hawks seem to be less abundant than in any other section where I 
have been, Red-tailed, Cooper's and Sparrow Hawk being the only 
species that abound. MRed-shouldered, Sharp-shinned and Marsh 
Hawks being less in abundance. The Broad-winged Hawk and 
Mississippi Kite being rare—though I am fortunate to have a fine 
pair of the latter—and the Duck and Pigeon Hawks and Swallow- 
tailed Kite being very rare (La Trade ms.). While labeling up our 
collection—Savannah, Natural History Society—recently, I came 
across a hawk which I was convinced was originally wrongly 
marked, and upon close investigation it turned out to be a Broad- 
winged Hawk, immature male taken Mar. 11, ‘O08. It is the only 
one in our collection, and in fact the only specimen I have ever 
taken (Iloxie ms.). Cherokee Co.. on July 11, °05, I found one 
nailed to a tree, having been shot by some hunters some days be- 
fore. I had previously seen a pair in this vicinity, but failed to get 
close enough for positive identification, tho’ my impression was 
that they were of this species (a Prade ms.). Fulton Co., June, 
06, exact date not recorded. I heard the Willdeer-like ery in 
some heavy timber. ‘The bird flew before I got in range and I 
failed to get it in the chance shot I tried. W. J. Mills, formerly of 
Bast Point, but now of College Park, has a set of eggs taken in 
the county that I consider probably of this bird; though I am not 
oologist enough to be a competent judge. Tle took them some years 
hefore he was acquainted with our birds, being a native of Eng-
