I have a very nice adult male vulturein my collection that was taken atWarren, Pennsylvania, and dont be-lieve I ever recorded it in any birdmagazine. Warren County is entirely out oftheir range and I never saw one heremyself. My specimen was capturedin late July by a farmer living aboutnine miles from here. A calf had diedand was taken off some distance andleft lay a day or so. On going to buryit, the farmer saw four vultures feed-ing on the carcass. He went back, andreturning with a steel trap, set it atthe body. The next day he found afine old male buzzard fast. It was taken alive and kept for sev-eral weeks in a large shed where itwas viewed by everyone in the vicin-ity and was looked upon as a curiosity. I finally heard of the catch and se-cured it for my collection. R. B. Simpson. 36 THE OOLOGIST. The Chinese Mandarin Duck, The common decorative Chinese wild fowl.
