This species, which resembles the Stormy Petrel, 
was discovered in 1818, in the island of St. Kilda. 
It has since been repeatedly met with on various 
parts of the coast, and has several times been 
found dead, or in an exhausted state, even far 
inland, during or after stormy weather in winter. 
It is said to be plentiful on the banks of Newfound- 
land, and in other parts of North America. It 
has been taken on the coasts of Holland, Belgium, 
and France. It breeds in sandy burrows or holes | 
of rocks, laying one white egg of a roundish oval 
form, large for the size of the bird. It feeds on 
small fish, crustacea and mollusca, &c.
