URIA LOMVIA ARRA (Pallas). 

 PALLAS' MTJRRE. ARE. KARA. 



We found this species common at Unalaska and t hence westward 

 throughout the Aleutian and Commander islands. They were com- 

 mon aboul Petropaulski, where one was seen near the town, and down 

 the coast to Cape Lopatka. They were frequent at sea off the 

 Kurds, and common near Simushir. "We found them rather com- 

 mon about the rocky shores of Yezo between Hakodate and Mororan. 

 On July 16, when we left Hakodate for the Japan Sea, we found 

 them very numerous all along the rocky shores of Yezo, usually 

 singly, hut sometimes in flocks of from ten to twenty-five individuals. 

 The single birds at this time were almost always accompanied by a 

 young chick, so small and inconspicuous on the water that its pres- 

 ence would often have been unnoticed had it not been for its shrill 

 whistle. On September 24, in Aniwa Bay, Sakhalin Island, we 

 found murres very common offshore, and we also found them numer- 

 ous on the first of October along the northern and eastern shores 

 of Yezo and the southern Kuril Islands. Doubtless many of the 

 murres %een about the Bogoslovs, as noted under Lunda eirrhata, 

 were of this species. 



Order LONGIPENNES. 

 Family STERCORAR] I DM. 



STERCORARIUS POMARINUS iTemminck). 

 POMARINE JAEGER. 



A single bird of this species was seen on dune 3, on Bower's Bank 

 in Bering Sea. This was the only record for the whole trip. 



STERCORARIUS PARASITICUS (Linnaeus). 

 PARASITIC JAEGER. RASBOJNIK. 



This jaeger was of rather frequent occurrence in Bering Sea, and 

 was met with on Bower's Bank and about the Aleutians. On land 

 I met with it twice, once at Agattu and once on Bering Island. In 

 the Kurds one was seen at sea north of Simushir. 



STERCORARIUS LONGICAUDUS Vielllot. 

 LONG-TAILED JAEGER. 



A Long-tailed Jaeger was -rc\i oil' the coast of southern Oregon on 

 May 7. another about halfway between Vancouver Island and the 

 Aleutians, and a third on Bower's Bank.
