California Condor.

of Condor as a most important responsibility to
everyone, and especially to those in Southern California.
Dr. Stager told us of a Mr. Johnson, who [illegible] in
Correspondence, several years ago with Mr. Stager, had
stated that at a summer home that he owned in
Pine Canyon, near Big Pine, in Inyo County, this Mr.
Johnson had observed Condor for several years and the
last year the Condor were seen in the Big Pine area in
Owens Valley, there was a pair of adults and a black
headed juvenile bird with them. Stager thought the
Johnsons knew condor, for they had produced Condor feathers
on one occasion to assure their identification. This Mr.
Johnson had lived somewhere on the outskirts of Los
Angeles at the time he wrote and visited Dr. Stager.
Mr. Stager has not heard from him for several years. He
will, nevertheless, mail us the correspondence he received from
this Mr. Johnson, in years past, in case we should care
to go to Lone Pine and look into the matter.
