136 BIRDS OF MAINE. 



6. (86 £i). Fulmarus glacialis minor {KjcerbneUivg). Lesser 

 Fulmar. 



Given in the A. O. I'. List as occurring soutli to Massacliusetts. 

 It will probably be found associated with the preceding species 

 along our coast, and it is only a question of time when both will 

 be added to our list. 



Genus PROCELLARIA Linnseus. 



7. (104). Procellaria pelagica i/n». Stormy Petrel. 



Given by Mr. Boardman as of accidental occurrence at Grand 

 Menan. It is quite likely to occur accidentally along our coast. 



Family FEEGATIDvE. Mau-o'-War Birds. 

 Genus FREGATA Brisson. 



8. (128). Fregata aquila ium. Man-o'-War Bird. 



Given in Smith's List of the Birds of Maine, Forest and Stream, 

 Vol. 20, p. 185,- as a straggler past the Maine coast to Nova 

 Scotia, where it Jias been taken. It does not seem advisable to 

 admit a species tp the state on such presumptive evidence. 

 Steam's "New England Bird Life" p. 342, says : "Mr. Purdie's 

 manuscript informs us that a specimen was taken, but not ]*i-e- 

 served, about twelve years ago, at Boothbay, Maine". This does 

 not seem perfectly satisfactory grounds for admitting the species 

 to the list. 



Family ANATIDiE, Ducks, Geese, and Swans. 

 Genus CAMPTOLAIMUS Gray. 



9. (156). Camptolaimus labradorius {GmeL). Labrador 

 Duck. 



This species probably formerly occurred along our coast in winter 

 but has not been taken of late years. The last known example was 

 taken at Grand Menan, N. B., in 1871, and Ornithologists now be- 

 lieve that the species is extinct. Mr. Boardman gives the species as 

 formerly occurring at Grand Menan.
