* The Editor has to confess with sorrow an attempt, made by him many years 

 ago, to get this species enrolled among British birds (Zool., pp. 3277, 3506), which

 occur on board ship far from the New World, and even in waters that may 

 fairly be termed British (Thompson, B. Ireld. ii. p. 343 ; K. Gray, B. W. Scotl. 

 p. 109).
