Said to be found in all the Canary Islands. I found it tole- 

 rably abundant on a plain near the sea to the eastward of Port 

 Orotava, in Teneriffe, where it breeds. Vernon Harcourt gives 

 it in his list of stragglers in Madeira on Mr. Lowe's authority.

Said by Webb and Berthelot to inhabit Lanzarote and Fuerte- 

 ventura, and also the south-east coast of Gran Canary near 

 Maspaloma. I did not, however, meet with it.

Occasionally seen on the coast of Teneriffe. It is said to 

 breed in some of the deserted rocks on the coast of the eastern 

 island. It is most probable that the South-African Black Oyster- 

 catcher is here referred to.
