General Notes 
Black Vulture in Maine.— Under date of November 3, Mr. Geo. A. 
Boardman writes me as follows : “Our local taxidermist (Calais, Maine) 
received a Black Vulture (^Catharista atrata) which was killed here. 
This makes the sixth I have known to be taken in this vicinity, while only 
one specimen of the Turkey Buzzard (^Caf hartes aiiyci) has been secured 
in this locality. The latter I consider much the more northern bird.”
