76 A NATURALIST IN THE MAGDALEN ISLANDS. 
ior. STERNA MACROURA, Naum. 
(ArcTIC TERN.) 
I did not observe this Tern. Audubon states, however, 
that when he visited the Magdalen Islands in June, 1833; 
“some dozens of Arctic Terns were plunging into the waters, 
capturing a tiny fish or shrimp at every dash.” 
Mr. C. J. Maynard writes me that he found Sterna ma- 
croura on the islands, but it was not as numerous as the 
last species. 
102. PROCELEARIA PELAGIC®, F. 
(STORMY PETREL.) 
Common, a short distance out at sea. On August 21, just 
after a heavy storm, I killed a fine specimen from the beach 
at House Harbor. 
103. OCEANITES OCEANICA, (Kuhl.) Coues. 
(WILson’s PETREL.) 
Observed what I believed to be this species while making 
the passage to the islands.
