Mr. Charles A. Keeler in "Bird Notes Afield" (1889) records this species from Capistrano. To one accustomed to meeting with this bird only among the high and almost inaccessible cliffs of the mountains it is no little surprise to find it in a district so nearly level as the region about this old mission settlement. But surely it is there. A visit to the place in the latter part of July revealed the fact that they are, seventeen years since Mr. Keeler's writings, still using the same broken walls as a retreat. I think they are nesting at the time we visited the place, for upon the entrance of an adult into one of the crevices there came cries of young birds which seemed to be coming from birds that were being fed. 530a. _Astragalinus P. hesperophilus_ (Green-backed Goldfinch) Common around Laguna and the neighboring hills. Nests with eggs were found, probably the second brood for the season. 634. _Vireo vicinior_ (Gray Vireo) Found along the streams near Capistrano. 685a. _Wilsonia pusilla pileolata_ (Pileolated Warbler) Fairly common in trees along streams near Capistrano. 364. _Pandion haliaetus carolinensis_ (American Osprey) One of these magnificent birds was found on the rocky cliffs bordering the shore between Laguna and Balboa. It was seen several times and was reasonably tame. BREEDING NOTES In addition to the nests of the more common birds the following were noted: Several Raven nests on the cliffs bordering the shore and are in Boat Canyon about a mile from the sea were found deserted, but feathers of their owners and the remains of their food betrayed their identity. A brood of Ruddy Ducks was seen on one of the lakes in Laguna Canyon several times. Coots were found breeding about the lakes in abundance. (_Contribution from the Zoological Laboratory of Pomona College_) Solpugids From the Claremont-Laguna Region J. NISBET The following list of solpugids represents a collection obtained by students and others during the past four or five years. Drawings are given of one large specimen and top and side views of the head region of several others. The determinations are by Dr. N. Banks. _Eremobates formicaria_ Koch This species has been taken from our region although such large specimens have been reported only from dryer regions. This specimen, a male is from Brawley, Cal. (Figs. 1 and 2). Figs. 3 and 4 were taken from a young specimen collected at Claremont. The movable finger of the cheliceræ of the male has two large teeth. Anterior margin of rephalothorix straight. Hind tarsi one segment. _Eremobates californica_ Sim. The drawings are from a specimen taken at Laguna Beach (Figs. 5 and 6). Specimens were also taken at Claremont. Movable finger of the cheliceræ with a large tooth. This is not so marked in the female. Hind tarsi one segment.
