AAA OCEANODROMA LEUCORRHOA. 
known to breed in Feerée, but M. Hardy was, as I myself afterwards found, 
liable to make great mistakes in hisgeography. He most likely obtained these 
eggs from the Newfoundland seas (ef. § 5189).] 
§ 5138. Seven.—From M. Hardy, 1847. 
[§ 5189. One.—* La Terre neuve.” From M. Hardy, 1859. 
Given to me at Dieppe, with some other eggs (§§ 640, 4516), by M. Hardy, 
as having been brought to him from Newfoundland. I think I did not then 
know that he had supplied other specimens of this bird’s eggs to Mr. Wolley. | 
[§ 5140. Siv.—Grand Manan, New Brunswick, 1864. From 
Mr. H. E. Dresser, 1865. 
Given to me by Mr. Dresser, having been received by him from his brother 
Arthur, and taken either by him or by Mr. George Boardman as above. One 
of them is inscribed ‘ Bird also shot,” and Mr. Dresser assured me that the 
bird was a Leach’s Petrel. | 
[§ 5141. Four.—Bay of Fundy. From Mr. H. E. Dresser, 
1866. 
Mr. Dresser’s note is:— Taken on an island near Grand Manan, Bay of 
Fundy, by men sent by Mr. Boardman. The men brought back a lot of birds 
also.””} 
[§ 5142. One.—North Rona, 16 June, 1885. ‘J. A. H.-B. 
ipse.’ From Mr. Harvie-Brown. 
Given to me at Dunipace, September 1885, together with the skin of 
a Leach’s Petrel marked “ 9 & egg J. A. H.-B. No. 2,” in fulfilment of a 
promise made in a letter to me of 16 June, 1885, when Mr. Harvie-Brown 
wrote :—“I think you will like tokens of our success at last in reaching Rona. 
After a week’s most inclement and unseasonable weather, and four tries, today 
we did it. Mr. Hugh Barclay and I spent two hours on Rona, took Fork- 
tailed Petrels’ eggs, and caught every bird on her egg. We found Storm- 
Petrels there also, and caught two birds, but they had no eggs.... It took 
us two, with three men, an hour and a half to dig and scrape and work out 
in all twenty-three eggs of Fork-tailed Petrel from the ruins of the former 
habitations. I hope to blow all these eggs securely, as I do not think they are 
hard set. I took three birds and Mr. Barclay three, and we let all the rest 
away, and watched their remarkable and beautiful flight.... I hope to send 
you a Rona Fork-tailed Petrel and egg in course.” This letter was accompanied 
by a pencil sketch of the island, shewing the exact position of the breeding- 
place, of which a fuller account was subsequently published by Mr. Harvie- 
Brown in ‘ The Vertebrate Fauna of the Outer Hebrides’ (pp. xlv—li and 154).
