EUROPEAN BIRDS OBSERVED IN NORTH AMERICA. 377 
38. Hydrochelidon leucoptera (Meisn. & Schinz.), White-winged 
Black Tern.—A specimen was taken in Wisconsin, July 5th, 1878, 
by Mr. Thure Kumlein, and was erroneously recorded as H. nigra 
by Dr. Coues, in ‘ Birds of the North West,’ 1874, p. 709 (Coues, 
Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, vol. iii., 1878, p. 141). 
39. Larus canus (Linn.), Common Gull.—One was taken by 
Dr. Coues at Henley Harbour, Labrador, Aug. 21st, 1860 (Howard 
Saunders, Proc. Zool. Soc., 1878, p. 178). 
40. Larus cachinnans (Pall.), Yellow-legged Herring Gull.—lt 
has ewe at St. Michael’s, Alaska (Baird, “spa Chicago 
Acad., i., 1869, p. 305).t 
Al. Eis afinis (Reinh.), Siberian Gull.—Once taken in Green- 
land (Reinhardt, Vid. Medd. Nat. For. Kjobenhayn, 1853, p. 78). 
The type specimen. 
42. Puffinus kulhi (Boie.), Grey Shearwater.—A specimen was 
received from Greenland by Herr Moschler, and it is now in the 
Leyden Museum (Schlegel, Mus. Pays-Bas, Procellarie, p. 24). 
Prof. Reinhardt informs me that he thinks this specimen may 
have come from Labrador, and not from Greenland. 
43. Puffinus anglorum (Temm.), Manx Shearwater.— Occurs 
from the coast of New Jersey to Labrador, and, according to 
Audubon, is not uncommon off the coast of Maine during summer 
(Baird, Cassin, and Lawrence, N. Am. Birds). Of not uncommon 
occurrence off the coast of New England, chiefly in winter (Coues, 
Proc. Essex Inst., 1867, vol. v., No. viii., p. 304). Seen off the 
Banks of Newfoundland (Allen, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, vol. iv., 
p- 128). In spite of the above statements, I have been unable to 
ascertain a single authentic instance of its capture on the coast 
of the United States, and I believe its right to be included in that 
fauna is doubtful. It has occurred in Greenland (Reinhardt, 
‘This,’ 1861). 
44. *Diomedea chlororhyncha (Gmel.), Yellow-billed Albatross. 
—One was taken at the mouth of the Columbia river (Baird, 
Cassin, and Lawrence, N. Am. Birds, p. 823). 
45. *Daption capensis (Linn.), Cape Pigeon.—Accidental off the 
coast of California (Ridgway, Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus., 1881, p. 76). 
4 
+ Mr. W. Couper, of Montreal, informs me that it ‘‘ breeds commonly 
on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence ;’’ but I think he must refer 
to some other species.
