Winge on Birds at the Danish Lighthouses. -Mr. Herluf Winge's 

 fourteenth annual report on the migration of Danish birds is of special 

 interest to students of American ornithology on account of the further 

 records that it contains of the little known Petrel, Oceanodroma cryfto- 

 leucura Ridgwav, added to our fauna by Mr. Wm. Palmer in the last 

 number of 'The Auk.' Two of these birds struck Danish lightships 

 durin- the autumnal migration of 1S96, one at Drogden, a tew miles 

 south of Copenhagen, on September 19, and another at Kobbergrunden, in 

 the Kattegat, on October 11. After comparison of these specimens with 

 the 16 skins of O. leucorhoa in the Zoological Museum at Copenhagen 

 Mr Winge concludes that the characters of O. cryptohtuura are purely 

 individual and that typical examples of the so-called species may be 

 expected to occur among any of the colonies of Leach's Petrel. It is 

 extremely doubtful whether this view of the relationship of the bird to 

 O. leucorhoa can be sustained, as the characters described by Mr. Ridgway 

 and Mr Palmer can hardly be reconciled with any such hypothesis.
