Species Introduced or Erroneously Accredited. 



CoLYMBUS cRiSTATus Linne. Crested grebe. — An Old World species 

 erroneously recorded by early writers. 



Aethia cristatella (Pallas). Crested auklet. — Doubtfully recorded 

 from Chatham, Mass., winter of 18S4-So. 



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

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

 is too doubtful for acceptance. 



PuFFiNus PUFFiNus (Brunnich). Manx shearwater. 



PuFFiNus "ciNEREXJs" (= 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 (Linn^). 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 GRACULtis (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.
