LITTLE AUK. Mergulus alle (Linnus). 
A Little Auk was taken alive in a field at Portmarnock, 
co. Dublin, in an exhausted state, on November 27th, 1904, 
(J. Trumbull, ‘ Irish Naturalist,’ 1905, p. 44). 
LEVANTINE SHEARWATER. Puffinws yelkowanus (Acerbi). 
An example of this species, obtained at Bridlington 
Quay, Yorkshire, October, 1898, was exhibited by Dr. 
Bowdler Sharpe at a meeting of the British Ornithologists’ 
Club, held February 21st, 1900. The specimen was sent 
for exhibition by Mr. Charles Smoothy, of Little Badow, near 
Chelmsford (Bull. B.O.C., vol. x, p. 48). 
LITTLE DUSKY SHEARWATER. Puffinus assimilis (Gould). 
A female example of this bird was picked up on the 
beach near Bexhill, Sussex, during a hard gale, on December 
28th, 1900. It was examined by Mr. Hartert and Mr. Saun- 
ders. It was exhibited by Mr. W. Ruskin Butterfield at a 
meeting of the British Ornithologists’ Club, held February 
13th, 1901. On comparing it with the skins of P. assimilis, 
collected by Capt. Boyd Alexander, it was suggested by the 
Hon. N. Charles Rothschild and Mr. Hartert that the bird 
might be called Puffinus obscurus batlloni, rather than 
P. assimilis (Bull. B.O.C., vol. xi, p. 45). This is the third 
example obtained in the British Isles. 
Another, a male of this species, was caught alive near 
Lydd, Kent, after a severe gale, on November 26th-27th, by 
Mr. Wallace who kept it alive for two days in a pool of 
water. The dead bird was received by Mr. Bristow, St. 
Leonards, on November 30th. It was exhibited by Mr. 
C. B. Ticehurst, on behalf of Dr. N. F’. Ticehurst, at a 
meeting of the British Ornithologists’ Club, held Decem- 
ber 13th, 1905 (Bull. B.O.C., vol. xvi, pp. 38, 39). This is 
the fourth British-taken example. 
BULWER’S PETREL. Bulweria bulweri (Jardine and Selby). 
A female example of this Petrel was found dead cn the 
beach near St. Leonards-on-Sea, on February 4th, 1904, 
after prolonged gales. The specimen was examined in 
the flesh by Mr. W. Ruskin Butterfield, who exhibited 
it at a meeting of the British Ornithologists’ Club, held 
February 17th, 1904. This is the third Bntish-taken speci- 
men and the second for Sussex, vide p. 562, text (Bull. 
B.O.C., vol. xiv, pp. 49, 50).
