CRUISE OF THE STEAMER CORWIN. 99 



Diomedea uigripes And. Black-footed Albatross. 



I ..btained several "gonies" iu the North Pacific, two or three hundred miles south of the 

 Aleutianlslands, by "fishing-' for them over tlie stern of the vessel with a cod-line baitecl 

 with pork. They followed in the wake of the steamer from the time we left California until 

 the Aleutian Islands were sighted. 



Three specimens (skeletons) ; May 15. 



Fulmaras glacialis rodgersii {Cass.). RoDGERs's Fulmar. 

 Common on the Pribylolf s. 

 One specimen; Otter Island, June 14.

Anas americana Gmel. Baldpate. 



Abundant at Port Clarence in August. 

 One specimen; Port Clarence, August 29. 



Clangula hyemaUs (Linn.). Old Squaw. 



We found this species in abundance late in June at Port Clarence, where we shot many. 



Histrionicus histrionicus (Linn.). Harlequin Duck. 



Common at Otter Island, where I obtained one specimen June U. A flock of twenty or 

 more could be seen on the rocks near the landing at low tide almost any day. 



Arctonetta fischeri (Brandt). Spectacled Eider. 



Captain Healy shot a fine specimen of this bird for me at Port Clarence on June i'.K 



Anser albifrons gambeU (HartL). American White-fronted Goose.

Branta canadensis minima Ridgw. Cackling Goose. 

 Two specimens; St. Michael's, September 4.

 September. 



Three specimens; St. Michael's, September 4. 



Grus canadensis (Linn.). Little Brown Crane. 



While at St. Paul Island some natives came to me and reported having seen a large long- 

 l3gged bird wading in a shallow pond near the village, and gave me a large feather which the 

 bird dropped in its flight. There is no doubt in my mind about this being a crane, as the 

 species is abundant on the mainland, while herons are unknown there. Mr. Elliott tells me of 

 having seen cranes on St. Matthew's Island. It is not given in his list of the birds of the 

 Pribyloifs. 



Crymophilus fulicarius (Linn.). Red Phalarope. 



Phalaropes were constantly present upon a shallow salt-water pond on Otter Island during 

 our stay there. 



Eight specimens; Otter Island, June 8-12. 



Macrorhamphus scolopaceus (Say). Long-billed Dawitcher. 

 One specimen; Port Clarence, August .30. 



Tringa couesi Ridgw. Aleutian Sandpiper. 



Five specimens; Ounalaska, October 23. Abundant, in flocks.
