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. 



Cepphus 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 puffinus (Brt'innich). 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 (Linn6). 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 gracultjs (Linne). Green cormorant. — This Euro- 

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

 doubtless confused it with the American P. auritus.
