26 BIRDS OF MAINE. 



Family PHALACROCORACID^E. Cormorants. 

 Genus PHALACROCORAX Brisson. 

 Subgcnus PHALACROCORAX. 



42. (119). Phalacrocorax carbo (Linn.). Cormorant. 



A common winter visitor along the coast but to my knowledge 

 it certainly does not breed in the state. It departs for the north 

 in late April or early May. 



County Records. Cumberland, "apparently a common winter resident" 

 (Brown's Cat. Birds of Portland, p. 33) ; Knox, "winter" (Rackliff) ; 

 Penobscot, "accidental, one shot at Chemo Pond in October, 1896, by Mr. 

 Mudgett of Orono" (Knight) ; Sagadahoc, "a few from fall to spring" 

 (Spinney); Washington, "not abundant" (Boardman). 



43. (120). Phalacrocorax dilophus (Swain.). Double- 

 crested Cormorant. 



This species is commonest coastwise in migrations, but it is also 

 a rare resident along the coast. A few pairs nest annually on 

 Black Horse Ledge near Isle au Haut. It is, however, seemingly 

 not found in winter, save in these counties near or within the Alle- 

 ghanian Fauna. 



County Records. Cumberland, "apparently an uncommon winter 

 resident" (Brown's Cat. Birds of Portland, p. 33) ; Hancock, "rare sum- 

 mer resident on coast, breeds, much commoner as a migrant" (Knight) ; 

 Knox, "migrant" (RacklhT) ; Penobscot, "one was shot at Kingman 

 about Nov. 18th, 1805. by Rev. J. W. Hatch, it is now in the Uni- 

 versity of Maine collection" (Knight) ; Sagadahoc, "a few from fall to 

 spring" (Spinney); Washington, "common in migration" (Boardman). 



Family PELECANID^E. Pelicans. 



Genus PELECANUS Linnseus. 

 Subgenus CRYTOPEL1CANUS Reichenbach. 



44. (125). Pelecanus erythrorhynchos Gmel. American 

 White Pelican. 



Of accidental occurrence in the state where two specimens have 

 been captured. 



County Records. Penobscot, "one shot on Passadumkeag Stream, 

 near Saponic Lake, May 28th, 1892, b$ Peter Sibley, it is now in my 

 collection (Hardy) ; Washington, "one seen at Calais, it was afterward 

 shot over the line in New Brunswick" (Boardman).
