258 BIEDS OF LANCASHIRE. 



WHITE-FACED PETEEL. 



Peocellaria marina, Latham. 



[An example of this species — also called the Frigate 

 Petrel — was washed up dead on the outside of Walney 

 Island, after a severe gale in November, 1890. After 

 identification, by Mr. Osbert Salvin, F.E.S., full 

 particulars of the occurrence were communicated by 

 the Eev. H. A. Macpherson to The Ihis, 1891 (pp. 602-4), 

 and have been repeated with slight additions in his 

 " Fauna of Lakeland." This species breeds in the 

 Southern hemisphere, and, like many other Petrels, 

 wanders northwards ; it is well known as a visitor to the 

 Canary Islands. — Ed.] 



WILSON'S PETEEL. 



OCEANITES OCEANICUS (Kuhl). 



[A bird of this species was obtained at the same place 

 as the preceding, but a day or two earlier, and has 

 been recorded by Mr. Macpherson in Tlie Ihis, with the 

 above. — Ed.] 



GENUS PUFFINUS. 



MANX SHEAEWATEE. 



PuFFiNus ANGLORUM (Temminck). 



A winter visitor, irregular in its appearance, but seen 

 occasionally off the coast, and sometimes found dead or 

 exhausted on the shore.
