Gymnogyps californianus January 10, 1946 Berkeley, Cal. to be sent to Varhies at Arizona. The specimen bird was in good condition though very old- many feathers missing on belly; head artificially colored. I copied the following data from a card accompanying the bird: "324 California Vulture Gymnogyps californianus C. S. Barbour, unsexed H R Taylor 1890 shot with #90" [probably refers to another specimen] "M. Bargetto Cal D.A. Cohen collection Alameda, Cal." At San Francisco, F & G Comm- ission, Ferry Bldg, I talked with Ben Glading & Henry (?) Hjersman (sp?) about cardors. Ben said he saw one about 2 miles S of Annette, Kern Co. Calif. in summer of 1942. This bird flew low over their pickup truck. [Near Cholame]. Ben said Dan McMillan at Cholame and Owen McMillan at Shandon were well up on the birds & history of that section - it would be well to contact them for in- formation. HJersman said he saw 5 or 6 near top of Pine Mtn (?) near Pozo about April of 1942. He will send for his notes & give me exact info later. At the time he was with Owen McMillan.
