336 Messrs. Ehves and Buckley on the Birds of Turkey. 



~^62. Phalacrocorax carbo (L.). 



Very numerous on the Bosphorus and Sea of Marmora, where 

 it breeds; also abundant on the Danube and Vardar rivers. 



263. Phalacrocorax graculus (L.). 

 Found by Lord Lilford on the coast of Epirus. 



264. Phalacrocorax pygm^us (Pall.). 



Common in Macedonia, where it frequents the inland 

 marshes, and also found on the Danube, where it breeds in 

 large colonies on the willow and poplar-covered islands. 



W- 265. PUFFINUS CINEREUS (Kuhl) . 



Found on the coast of Epirus by Lord Lilford, and on the 

 Bosphorus by Mr. Robson, who states that it breeds on the 

 islands in the sea of Marmora. 



^+-266. PuFFiNus YELKOUAN (A^ccrbi). 



Common on the Black Sea and Sea of Marmora, and, as we 

 believe, the commonest species of Shearwater found on the 

 Bosphorus. It is very difficult to account for these flocks, so 

 well known to all visitors to Constantinople as the " Ames 

 damnees," which are constantly passing and repassing at all 

 hours of the day and at all seasons of the year. It is evidently 

 no regular migration, as the numbers going in each direction 

 are about the same ; and as they are rarely seen except in the 

 Bosphorus and Dardanelles. They are supposed by the natives 

 to disappear under water as soon as they reach the open sea. 



-^267. Procellaria pelagica, L. 



Found on the coast of Epirus by Lord Lilford. 



268. Larus fuscus, L, 



Seen several times on the Black Sea, but not very numerous. 



269. Larus michahellesi, Bruch. 



Common on the Black Sea and the Bosphorus. We some- 

 times saw these Herring-Gulls feeding on the cultivated land 

 in Macedonia. 



-f- 270. Larus canus, L. 



We did not identify this species by specimens, but have little 

 doubt we saw it both on the Black Sea and the Gulf of Volo.
