442 FULMARUS GILACIALIS.—BULWERIA ANJINHO. 
[§ 5132. One.—Handa, Sutherland, 25 June, 1904. 
This egg I owe to the kind intervention of Mr. Harvie-Brown with Mr. D. 
Morrison, the gamekeeper at Scourie, who sent it to me direct and wrote that 
it was the only one they could reach, as the place where the birds breed is over- 
hung by the rock above. He added that he had been gamekeeper in Scourie 
for twenty-two years, but he never saw the Fulmar Petrel in Handa until 
1902, and the first of its eggs taken there was obtained in 1903. He went on 
to say “the Fulmars do not lay on the rock, but on the grass among the ledges, 
where they scrape out a hollow and lay the egg on the bare ground, no nest 
being found.” To the best of my recollection, when I was in Handa in 1890 
with Mr. Henry Evans and my brother Edward, we saw no Fulmars; but 
since then I have more than once seen them on and about the cliffs, 
particularly in 1898, when there were many, and we felt sure that they must 
be breeding. Mr. Harvie-Brown has given further details, with a view of 
their nesting-place, in ‘A Fauna jof the North-West Highlands and Skye’ 
(p. 356). ] . 
BULWERIA ANJINHO (Heineken). 
BULWER’S PETREL. 
§ 5133. Hight—Desertas, Madeira, 1850. From Dr. Frere. 
Four of these very valuable eggs were sent to me by post. On 
3 August some of these birds were “ just ” sent to Dr. Frere, with the 
eggs; but he unfortunately parted with them. I immediately sent 
as asmall part return one Leach’s Petrel’s and five Whimbrels’, but I 
shall have others of his desiderata to supply. Mr. Henry Milner 
wrote to me in April, 1849 :—“ I expect some eggs and young birds of 
Bulwer’s Petrel shortly from Madeira. I procured some old birds 
from there last year.” The history of these eggs will be found in the 
letter copied above [§ 5094]. 
24 September, 1850. Dr. Frere has handsomely given me one of 
the birds, which I have labelled and carefully put by, after I had 
examined it and found its measurements to correspond with those of 
the Bulwer’s Petrel as given in Yarrell [ Brit. Birds, ed. 1, in. p. 515], 
who seems to have had access only toa single specimen. “Gray at the 
[British] Museum has seen them, and has a pair of skins from the 
same source, and eggs from mine though not directly.”—R. T. Frere 
[in litt.|, 24 September, 1850. 
[Of the remaining four, two were given to Mr. Wolley by Dr. Frere in 1851, 
and the other two by him to me in 1850 and 1861 respectively: This last is 
stained of an orange colour, and, so far as I know, the only one I have ever seen 
in that state, but all are of the first consignment that the Doctor received. ]
