OF WELLESLEY AND VICINITY 1 I 



mens in fall about L. Cochituate, — Wm. Edwards, in letter 

 cited under No. 196. There is little doubt that one of 

 these is the unlabeled one in the So. Natick museum, the 

 other is perhaps in the Wellesley College collection. BL 

 ii 370. 



77' Black Tern — Hydrochelidoji nigf-a suri?ia7ne?isis 

 (Gmel.). Irregular migrant. Casual. Sudbury, June 20, 

 1889, in collection of H. D. Eastman; Wayland, June 10, 

 1889, two males, one in N.E. collection of Boston Soc. Nat. 

 Hist. (Maynard's Contrib. to Science, vol. i, p. 99, 1889.) 

 BL ii 375. ' 



89. Greater Shearwater — Puffinus gravis 



(O'Reilly). Common off coast in summer, accidental inland. 

 One example captured alive on Cheney estate, Dover, after 

 hard storm, Aug. 16 *, 1887 (O. & O. xiii 104) ; in 

 collection of Thomas Smith, Wellesley. BL ii 383. 



106. Leach's Petrel — Oceanodroma leucorhoa 

 (Vieill). Migrant, common off coast, accidental inland. 

 Farm Pond, Framingham, taken by Henry Perry, in collec- 

 tion of A. L. Babcock. BL ii 382. 



120. Double-crested Cormorant — Phalacrocorax 



dilophus (Swain.). Not uncommon winter resident off 

 coast, casual inland. In letter cited under No. 196, Mr. 

 Edwards speaks of a cormorant shot on banks of Morse's 

 Pond, in Wellesley, about eight years before {i.e.^ 1879), 

 and then in So. Natick museum. The specimen now there, 

 and which is probably the one referred to, is an immature 

 example of this species. Another (probably this species) 

 reported seen in same locality by S. F. Denton. BL ii 340.

americaniis (Cass.). Winter resident on coast. Common
