Species Introduced or Erroneously Accredited. 



Colymbus cristatus Linne. Crested grebe. An Old World species 

 erroneously recorded by early writers. 



Aethia crist atella (Pallas). Crested auklet. Doubtfully recorded 

 from Chatham, Mass., winter of 1884-85. 



Cepphxjs mandtii (Lichtenstein). Mandt's guillemot. The sup- 

 posed Maine specimen proves to be C. grylle, and the Massachusetts record 

 is too doubtful for acceptance. 



Puffinus ptjffinus (Brlinnich). Manx shearwater. 



Puffinus "cinereus" (= kuhli Gould). Mediterranean shearwater. 

 European species listed from New England by several of the older writers 

 but probably in error for P. gravis or P. borealis. 



Thalassidroma pelagica (Linne). Stormy petrel. Given on au- 

 thority of Boardman as a rare summer visitor "off the coast of Eastern 

 Maine," but the record is not allowed by Knight. 



Pelagodroma marina (Latham). White-faced petrel. A specimen 

 taken in lat, 40 34' 18" N., long. 66 09' W., Sept. 2, 1885, was included in 

 Dr. J. A. Allen's list of Massachusetts birds (1886), but the locality is out- 

 side the limits covered by the present catalogue. 



Phalacrocorax graculus (Linn). Green cormorant. This Euro- 

 pean species is accredited to Massachusetts by W. B. O. Peabody, who 

 doubtless confused it with the American P. auritus.
