MOTHER CAREY'S CHICKEN. COMMON STORM PETREL. 

 STORMY PETREL. 



PLATE CCXXXII. FIGURE I. 



Procellaria pelagica, PENNANT. MONTAGU. BEWICK. 



Procellaria pelagica, FLEMING. JENYNS. TEMMINCK. 



Thalassidroma pelagica, SELBY. GOULD. 



A few pieces of stalks of plants, dried grass, or sea- 

 pinks, with a stray feather or two, are all the 

 nest. The bird sits very close, and will allow herself 

 to be taken sooner than forsake her charge. 



The egg is white, and somewhat of an oval shape. 

 It is very frequently surrounded about the base with 

 a ring of faint dull-coloured pink or fine rust-coloured 

 spots. 



The Rev. H. B. Tristram took the egg from which 

 the plate is coloured in Orkney.
