down the Kamchatkan coast to Cape Lopatka, and up into the 

 Okhotsk Sea as far as we went; they were rather common down the 

 Kurils to Simushir, then occasional to the northern end of Yezo. 



FRATERCULA CORNICULATA (Naumann). 

 HORNED PUFFIN. IPATKA. IPATOK. MATSCHIR. 



We first met with the Horned PnfHn in Unalga Pass, near Unalaska, 



where it was rather common. It was found about the shores of 

 Unalaska and Atka, and a few companies of six or eight were seen 

 at Agattu, together with some single birds. A few individuals were 

 found at Copper Island, and one or two at Bering Island. They 

 were nowhere nearly as abundant as the preceding. 



Subfamily .ETHIINJE. 



CERORHINCA MONOCERATA (Pallas). 



RHINOCEROS AUKLET. 



This species was observed in limited numbers at Atka and at 

 Agattu, and in the northern Kurils I occasionally noticed small com- 

 panies on the water as far south as Simushir. 



PTYCHORAMPHUS ALEUTICUS (Pallas). 

 CASSIN'S AUKLET. 



Cassin's Anklets were common at sea in flocks from about southern 

 Oregon to Puget Sound, except in the vicinity of the Columbia River. 

 In Puget Sound they were abundant until we passed Port Townsend. 

 After leaving Union Bay we saw them frequently until we reached 

 the upper part of Georgia Gulf, where they were abundant, the num- 

 bers again falling off until we reached the open sea. Here we saw 

 hundreds of them in flocks of from 10 to 50, well offshore. They 

 were also noticed about Unalaska, Agattu, and Atka, and a few were 

 seen just outside the harbor at Attu. 



PHALERIS PSITTACULUS (Pallas). 

 PAROQUET AUKLET. BJELE-BRUSKI. NAATSCHU. 



This bird was rather numerous in Unalga Pass as we approached 

 the harbor of Unalaska, and was met with at Atka, Agattu, and 

 Attn, though in small numbers. One flock of live was seen at Bering 

 Island, oil" some cliffs west of the town, and we saw these Anklets 

 occasionally in the Kurils as far south as Simushir, where there were 

 a number about the rocks. 



vETHIA CRISTATELLA (Pallas). 

 CRESTED AUKLET. KONJUGA. KOROKORA. TURUTURA. 



A few Crested Auklets were seen near Unalaska, but at Atka, Attu, 

 and especially at Agattu, they were much more numerous. Y\ <■ saw
