170 Murphy, Range of Leach's Petrel. [April 



wards named by Prof. Baird. One of these was mounted and put on exhi- 

 bition in the Boston Society (it is now M. C. Z. no. 72580) and probably 

 Baird did not have it. The other, still a skin, bears a label on which 

 " type " is marked, in, I think, Baird's handwriting. 



Coereba caboti (Baird). Certhiola caboti Baird, Am. Nat., Vol. VII, p. 

 612, Oct. 1873, Cozumel Isl. 1842. Type now, M. C. Z. no. 72525. 



The only other type — so far as I have been able to ascertain — in the 

 Cabot collection was, 



Tragopan caboti (Gould). Ceriornis caboti Gould, P. Z. S. 1857, p. 

 161 . Figured in Birds of Asia, VII, pi. 48. This specimen, is now M. C. Z. 

 no. 73213. It was mounted and had been somewhat battered, during its 

 many changes of abode, but has been remade into a very good skin by Mr. 

 George Nelson. 



THE ATLANTIC RANGE OF LEACH'S PETREL (OCEANO- 

 DROMA LEUCORHOA (VIEILLOT)). 



BY ROBERT CUSHMAN MURPHY. 



According to the A. O. U. Check-List, 1910, the western Atlantic 

 range of Leach's Petrel extends from breeding grounds in southern 

 Greenland south casually to Virginia. In the eastern Atlantic 

 the species is known, either as a regular visitor or as a wanderer, 

 at the Azores, Madeira (Nov.), Canary Islands (Nov.), Cape 

 Verdes (Jan.), and the coasts of Sierra Leone and Liberia (Banner- 

 man, Ibis, Vol. II, 1914, pp. 450, 451). Specimens have also been 

 taken in January and March between the Equator and 5° N. 

 latitude, in the longitude of the Cape Verdes, or in approximately 

 the geographical center of the tropical Atlantic Ocean (Salvin, 

 Cat. B. Brit. Mus., Vol. XXV, 1896, p. 350). 



During the cruise of the whaler Daisy, 1912-1913, I observed 

 and collected 0. leucorhoa over an area which extends farther to the 

 west and south in the equatorial Atlantic than the previously 

 known range of the species.
