Lake Homega, Zoc, Dep't San Miguel, El Salvador Feb. 19, 1942. And disappeared into some scrub. This tree was over- hanging a very steep rock slide, and I figured that the bird must have rolled to the bottom of it, some 60 feet below. Returned to camp and left my shot- gun, and the native boy + I went back to look for the bird. After about 2 hours of crashing around the dense scrub, and climbing up the steep rock slide, we had no luck. Marshall, who had come back to camp, was told of what was on, and climbed to the summit, and under the tree from which the bird was shot. While we were trying to line things up and spot the exact place where the bird might have fallen, Joe happened to look down and saw the bird, stone dead, about 15' below him, just at the head of the rock slide. He retrieved it, and when we returned to camp, measured it, + took notes on plumage + soft part colors. So that this informa- tion is in the species account of Sarcoramphus gapa of Marshall. The bird was made into a skeleton (1273). Stomach contents listed in Catalogue. The bird was a 5 in immature plumage. I might add that there were no other birds of any kind near the tree in which the vulture perched, the nearest being the turkey vultures well down the hillside, and a couple of others flying overhead. I heard it make no noise, and for the most part it just perched motionless + quiet.
