were obtained. Two fresh eggs were taken on 8tli of June 

 (Ibis, 1914, p. 79). 



Range beyond the Archipelayo. 



The Madeiran Allied Shearwater breeds also in tlie 

 Madeira gronp, Salvage Islands, and almost certainly in the 

 Azores. It is represented by allied forms in several widely 

 separated localities in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. 



Its breeding range is dealt with fully by iiie in 'The Ibis/ 

 1914, pp. 477-483. 



Bulweria bulweri bulweri. Buhver's Petrel. 

 Procellaria hulweril Jardine and Selby, Illustr, Orn. ii. 

 1828, pi. 65 — Type locality: Madeira group. 



A Summer Visitor to the Archipelago. 



Hab. Ill Archipelago. 



IVestern Group * : Tenerife. 

 Outer islets : Montana Clara. 



Obs. Also recorded as breeding in Allegranza. It lias 

 ceased to breed there now apparently. 



Bulwer's Petrel breeds in both the above-mentioned 

 islands, but lias not been recorded from anywhere else in the 

 Archipelago except Allegranza. Webb and Berthelot (Orn. 

 Canarienne, p. 44) give this latter island as its habitat in 

 the Archipelago, and say of it : " Ce petit Puffin est tres- 

 commun dans Filot d'Alegranza ; il niche dans les trous des 

 rochers . . . Nous avons garde plusieurs jours cinq ou six 

 de ses 'Perritos' vivants, pendant notre sejour a Lancerotte. 

 On nous les avait ai)portes d'Alegranza ; . . ." From this 

 account it seems certain that Bulwer's Petrel bred in Alle- 

 granza, but during my own expedition to these " outer 

 islets" in 1913 no trace of Bulwer's Petrel could be found 

 on that island (for an account of which see Ibis, 1914, 

 pp. 84-87). It was, however, found on Montana Clara. 



BoUe confirms Webb and Berthelot's account, and wrote 



* The note which I published in my '' Birds of Gran Canaria'" (Ibis, 

 1912, p. 574) in error under the headinj^ of this species, really referred to 

 Puffinus assimilis baroU. IJuhvers Petrel has not yet been found 

 breeding in Gran Canaria.
