Note.—‘‘ Examples of the Petrei familarly known as 
the Cape Pigeon (Daption capensis) are recorded by More 
from the neighbourhood of Dublin on October 30th 1881, 
by the Rev. M. A. Mathew from near Bournemouth (Zool., 
1894, p. 396), and by Mr. Salter from the Dovey in 1879 
(Zool., 1895, p. 254). This species belongs essentially to 
the southern hemisphere, and I am not aware that it has 
ever been proved to follow ships across the equator; but 
the ease and frequency of its capture with hook and line are 
notorious, and many birds have been carried hundreds and 
thousands of miles before being hberated. I do not believe 
that this species has ever wandered to the United Kingdom” 
(Saunders, ‘ Man. Brit. Birds,’ 2nd Edit., p. 750).
