BROWN PELICAN (Pelecanus fuscus). One of these birds 
was shot at Hungry Bay, many years ago; and another was 
killed near St. George’s, in April, 1850, which was given 
to me by Colonel Drummond. 
DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT (Phalacrocorax dilophus). 
The first notice of this bird was by Captain Orde, who shot 
it at Pitt’s Bay, on the 10th of October, 1847; and on the 
8th of February, 1848, when sailing past Grace’s Island, I 
shot another. Both these birds were in winter plumage. 
No other specimens were obtained during my residence in 
the Islands. 
Boospy GANNET (Sula fusca). Only one specimen has 
been obtained: this bird flew into one of the soldiers’ 
barrack rooms, at Fort Catherine, on the 3rd of October, 
1847. It was beautifully preserved His Colonel Drummond, 
and is now in my collection. 
FRIGATE BirD (Tachypetes aquilus). On the 27th of Sep- 
tember, 1848, I observed a large bird soaring about in the 
dockyard, at Ireland Island, which at last flew into one of 
the barrack rooms of the Royal Artillery, at the Commis- 
sioner’s House, but made its escape. After watching it for 
a long time, I fortunately managed to shoot it, and it 
proved to be a very fine male specimen. On the 30th of 
September, 1848, as I was starting for Hamilton, from the 
dockyard, in my little yacht, “The Petrel,” another frigate 
bird flew over, and close to the truck of my mast; my gun 
was soon brought into play, and I killed it. The guard at 
the dockyard was just being relieved at the time, and the 
bird dropped exactly between the two officers, Lieutenant 
Fraser, and McNish, of the 42nd, who were standing-in 
front of the men; neither, however, now live to remember
