First label: “Adamastor typus Bonap. Puffinus cinereus 
Gm.? California off Monterey. Procellaria hasitata ‘Kuhl’ 
Gould. B. Austr. vii pl. 47. Presented by N. Pike.” 
Second label: ‘Coll. Geo. N. Lawrence. Puffinus cinereus, 
Gm. California coast. 651. Presented by N. Pike Esq.” 
The American Museum catalogue number is 45967. 
It may be well to recall the fact that the description of this 
specimen served as a description of the species in Dr. Coues’s 
monograph.* 
Dr. S. Kneeland’s record’ of the occurrence of this shear- 
water “in considerable numbers”’ off the coast of California is 
based on mistaken identification; the birds he saw were un- 
doubtedly Black-footed Albatrosses. 
As no mention is made of Puffinus creatopus, it is highly 
probable that the species observed by Capt. R. Paefsler in lati- 
tude 17° 4’ N., longitude 101° 6’ W. was Puffinus creatopus 
and not Priofinus cinereus.°

Dr. Cooper was the first writer to give vernacular names to 
this species, designating it Red-footed Puffin and Red-footed 
Shearwater.* Later, it was called Flesh-footed Shearwater 
and Pink-footed Shearwater, names also applied to Puffinus 
carneipes. Recently, Dr. Godman has proposed a new name, 
Coues’s Shearwater.*> A more appropriate appellation, how- 
ever, is the one adopted in the headline above in honor of the 
discoverer of the species, Dr. James Graham Cooper. 
Cooper’s Shearwater is a South Temperate Zone species 
whose exodus-migration is protracted beyond the Tropic of 
Cancer. Off Point Pinos, California, it is common from May
