BurNS—Own BROAD-WINGED HAWK. 185 
land (la Prade ms.). Atlanta, six seen Dec. 25, 03 (McDaniel). 
Newton Co., Oxford, I have for seven years been trying to secure 
one for the Emory College collection. Yesterday, Apr. 27, ’08, I 
took an immature male in thick woods (La Prade ms.). In a 
memoranda of a collection of eggs made chiefly on St. Simon’s 
Island (Glynn Co.), Wayne and McIntosh Cos., during °55-’65, by 
the late Dr. S. W. Wilson; H. B. Bailey notes the species—“nests 
in high trees, eggs two or three.” Camden Co., St. Marys, it does 
not breed. In fact I have taken but one and seen one other, both 
in winter. It may, however, breed in other parts of the state, as 
it is no more rare here than the Mississippi and Swallow-tailed 
Kites, and the latter at least is quite common in some sections 
(Arnow. ms.). 
Wtoripa.—There is a specimen in the Museum of Comparative 
Zoology labeled as having been taken in Florida (Allen). One 
spec. each by Dr. E. G. Abadie and Thos. McHuen (Phila. Acad. 
Nat. Sci. Coll.). Bird appears nowhere a very common species, 
with perhaps the exception of the peninsula (Brewer). Eggs found 
by Gustavus Wordemann (Baird, Brewer and Ridgway). Kissim- 
mee Valley, one seen Feb.-Mar., ‘95 (Palmer). Jefferson Co., one 
of the commonest hawks found breeding in the hill country and on 
the Wacissa river (Wayne); while I did not collect any sets of 
eggs, it is a common breeder near Waukeenah. Shot a female Apr. 
21, 94, that contained an egg ready to be laid (Wayne ms.). Leon 
Co., Tallahassee, common resident, breeds (Williams); there is 
scarcely a strip of woods of 50 acres or more wherein are not found 
a pair of these birds (Williams ms.). Walton Co., De Funiak 
Spring, somewhat rare, May 2, ’08, I shot an adult female and ob- 
served another Apr. 23, *10, at Lake Cassidy, and an adult male in 
a cypress swamp, June 23, °10 (Fisher ms.). Scambia Co., Pensa- 
cola, one seen, spring of ’86 (Hverman). Volusia Co., Coronado, 
Dec. 30, (08 (Longstreet). Hillsborough Co., not present to my 
knowledge (Hoyt ms.) ; reported breeding (Bendire). Manatee Co., 
it has been reported breeding and an egg collected by H. B. Moore, 
Manatee, spring of ’72, and now in the U. 'S. National Museum col- 
lection, entered as one of B. lineatus, seems much more likely to 
be referable to this species (Bendire). Lee Co., Fort Myers—Ca- 
loosahatchie region—migrant (Scott); seen (Maynard) Key West, 
single one Peb. 3, °88; 150—mostly of this species.—Oct. 21, ’87 
(Scott). 
ALABAMA.—Found (Oberholser) Hale Co., only one specimen has 
come under my observation, that was shot and mounted by Dr. J. 
M. Pickett of Cedarville. I have the specimen in my collection 
(Avery). Coosa, Clay and Talledega Cos., abundant soon after
