Note. " Examples of the Petrel familiarly known as 

 the Cape Pigeon (Daption capensis) are recorded by More 

 from the neighbourhood of Dublin on October 30th 1881, 

 by the Rev. M. A. Mathew from near Bournemouth (Zool., 

 1894, p. 396), and by Mr. Salter from the Dovey in 1879 

 (Zool., 1895, p. 254). This species belongs essentially to 

 the southern hemisphere, and I am not aware that it has 

 ever been proved to follow ships across the equator ; but 

 the ease and frequency of its capture with hook and line are 

 notorious, and many birds have been carried hundreds and 

 thousands of miles before being liberated. I do not believe 

 that this species has ever wandered to the United Kingdom"
