Accidental, the only record (and this of a bird taken too far off the coast

November last [1878] I saw a living specimen of this bird in the yard of 
Mr. Geo. O. Welch, to whom it had been sent for mounting, and I subse- 
quently learned from Mr. Milner, Prof. Baird’s assistant, that it had been 
taken by Capt. Wm. Sweet of the fishing schooner, Grace C. Hadley, Oct.
