254 BIRDS OF CHESHIRE. 
FAMILY PUFFINIDA. 
MANX SHEARWATER. 
PUFFINUS ANGLORUM (Temminck). 
Storm-driven and exhausted Manx Shearwaters have 
been picked up on several occasions in Cheshire, as a 
rule early in September. Two birds in the Grosvenor 
Museum, Chester, were obtained near that city—one 
picked up dead at Upton on September Ist, 1892, the 
other found three days later in an exhausted condition 
in the London and North-Western Railway goods-shed 
at Chester Station. In 1887 one was shot at Saltney 
on September Ist.t. On the Ist or 2nd of September 
1897, a Manx Shearwater was captured at Northwich 
and was sent to Manchester for preservation; another 
was taken alive on a pit at Sale about the year 1889. 
FULMAR. 
FULMARUS GLACIALIS (Linnzeus). 
The Fulmar is not likely to occur frequently in the 
sheltered estuaries of the Cheshire coast, and, so far 
as we know, the bird has only been observed twice. 
Byerley records one from Wallasey, during stormy 
weather, in the spring of 1854? and there is one in the 
Grosvenor Museum which was picked up dead on the 
river-bank at Chester on October 4th, 1894.
