 be preserved for reference. 



Family PROCELLARIIDiE. Fulmars and Shearwaters. 

 Subfamily FULMARIN^. Fulmars. 

 Genus FULMARUS Stephens. 

 86. Fuhnarus glacialis (Linn.). Fulmars. 



Reported by Mr. Boardman as a winter seabird at Grand Menan, New 

 Brunswick, and also given in the A. O. U. List as occurring as far south as 

 New Jersey. There is no doubt that ultimately specimens will be taken in 

 winter along our coast, even though these sentiments were expressed by me 

 ten years ago and are not yet realized. 



Subfamily PROCELLARINvE. Petrels. 

 Genus PROCELLARIA Linnseus. 

 104. Procellaria pelagica Linn. Stormy Petrel. 



Wrongly ascribed to Maine by previous writers. Mr. Boardman gives it 

 as accidental at Grand Menan, New Brunswick, and possibly some day a 

 straggler may occur along our coast. 



Genus OCEANODROMA. Reichenbach. 



106. 2. Oceanodroma cryptoleucura (Ridgw.). Hawaiian 



Petrel. 



This is a pelagic species which has been taken at Washington, D. C, two 

 specimens, and also at Kent, England and six or seven island localities in the 

 eastern Atlantic. In the Journal of the Maine Ornithological Society, 1902, 

 p. 9, Mr. Norton mentions the species as an ornithological possibility. There 

 are other species of Shearwaters and Petrels which are full as likely to 

 occur, though to enumerate all would be needless. The occurrence of sev- 

 eral other species along the coast, especially after storms, is however highly 

 probable and the birds of this group should be examined very carefully. 



Family PELECANID^E. Pelicans. 

 Genus PELECANUS Linna?us. 



Subgenus LEPTOPELICANUS Reichenbach. 

 126. Pelecanus occidentalis (Linn.). Brown Pelican. 



The specimen recorded in Journal of the Maine Ornithological Society, 

 1901, p. 15, is not entitled to a place as a bird of the State and neither is it
