tradistinguished by Brandt and others from candidus 

 Briss. 



No. 1086. $. South Atlantic. H. F. Sli-opatxl. 1856, 



PROCELLARnD^. 



DiOMEDEA EXULANS Linu. — \A^anderino- All)atross, Nu- 

 merous examples of this species, all from extra-limital 

 localities (No. 1134, and others). 



Phcebetria fuliginosa Reich. — Dusky Albatross. 

 Several specimens from extra-limital regions. 



[NoTK. Ill addition to the preceding species, I find several exam- 

 ples of D. culminatn Gould, chiefly from Cape Horn. No. 1127 and 

 others. One of these is peculiarly interesting. The plumage indi- 

 cates it to be nearly mature ; but yet the bill is wholly pure black, 

 with only a slight brownish tinge along the sides of the inferior 

 maxillary ramus. Thei-e is not the slightest trace of yellow on the 

 culmen. This is the first example I have ever met with in this condi- 

 tion. The specimen is now in the Smithsonian Institution. This is 

 the species given by Audubon as D. "■(■Jilororhi/ncha," of which he 

 says his specimen was taken not far from the Columbia River.] 



Fidmarus glaclalis Leach. — Fulmar Petrel. A rare 

 winter visitant along the coast. (^Peab., p. 383 ; Piiln., 

 p. 231 ; AIL, p. 89. Omitted from Sam., .0. 0.). 



Daption capensis Steph. — Pintado Petrel. Of this 

 species, usually accorded a place among North American 

 Birds, a specimen (No. 1142) is in the collection from 

 Cape Horn. 



Priofinus cinereus Coues. — Cinereous Petrel. (Not 

 the Atlantic " Cinereous Shearwater " Avhich is the Puffi- 

 ?ius Kiihlii Boie. Not "Puf/inus cinereus''^ of the earlier 

 American authors, which is P. major Faber, infra. See 

 my review of the Procellariidde, Pr. A. N. S., Phila., 

 Apr. 1864, p. 119, for synonymes and relationships.) A 

 fine example of this species in the collection (No. 1145) 

 from Cape Horn. It is a very extensively distributed 

 species. 



Puffinus major Faber. — Greater Shearwater. "Hag- 

 don." (Puffinus "cinereus" of the earlier local lists.) 

 Not uncommon off the coast, particularly in winter. 

 This is the most abundant species off the north-cast coast 

 of America. (Omitted from Sam., 0. 0.) 



No. 1141. Salem, Essex Co. J. A. Goldthwait, Sept. 25, 1854.
