STORM PETREL. 



651 



length of the bird not quite six inches ; the wing, from 

 the bend, four inches and five-eighths. The young bird, 

 till twelvemonths old, is not quite so dark in colour ; edges 

 of wing-coverts rusty brown ; no white on the margins of 

 the tertials, and less white at each side of the vent. 



The final vignette represents an Englishman at Iceland 

 in the dress worn when collecting birds, taken from a 

 drawing lent me by Mr. W. Proctor of Durham.
