448 PROCELLARIA PELAGICA. 
PROCELLARIA PELAGICA, Linneus. 
STORM-PETREL. 
§ 5151. One—* Handa,” Sutherland. From Mr. George 
Harvey, of Stromness, 1848. 
§ 5152. Three-—Naalsée, Ferée, 9 July, 1849. “J. W.” 
Of the common Storm-Petrel I took three eggs in the island of 
Naalsée, in the undercliff on the east side, 9 July. It is called 
Drunquiti or White-rump. At the same time we caught about 
twenty birds, so that few had then begun to lay. On our previous 
visit, 27 June, we had not found a single egg. On this undercliff 
a vast extent of cliff fell down several years ago. Hymenophyllum 
grows on the stones amongst which we found the Petrels. By 
remaining perfectly still, the spinning-wheel noise of the birds soon 
betrayed their whereabouts. It was often impossible to get at them, the 
stones were so large. I afterwards caught birds in burrows on Lille 
Dimon, and under stones on Tindholm, but did not findeggs. Iam not 
certain whether I caught any in Store Dimon, but they breed there 
in the walls made of turf and stone, as the people said and as the 
musky smell proved. In all these places I looked in vain for Leach’s 
Petrel. 
§ 5153. One.—Fuglée, Ferce, 19 July, 1849. 
In Fuglée, 19 July, two Petrels’ eggs were found under a barn- 
floor—the birds caught. Others also breeding under stones. No 
Leach’s. This at Hattervig. 
§ 5154. Zen.—Orkney, 1850. From Mr. George Harvey, 
of Stromness. 
Out of twelve, one of which I cracked in washing. This is a nice 
lot of eggs and some of them must be kept for the cabinet. The 
presence of a larger or smaller crown of specks is, of course, a 
principal character.
