to trans-Atlantic travellers and deep sea fishermen than to 

 landsmen or even to coastwise sailors. It appears in early 

 June, and is irregularly common until November (Chapman, 

 Guide to Local collection, 1894, p. 19). It is called "Hagdon." 



42. Puffinus Iherminieri. Audubon's Shearwater. 



Rare transient or accidental visitor, and known on Long 

 Island from but one specimen, taken at Bellport, August 1, 

 1897 (Butcher, Auh, v, 1888, p. 173). This is likewise its 

 most northern record. 



43. Puffinus fuliginosus. Sooty Shearwater. 



A bird of the North Atlantic Ocean and rarely observed 

 off the Long Island coast. A single specimen was shot at 

 Quogue, in July, 1850 (G. N. Lawrence, Ann. Lyceum Nat. 

 Hist., V, 1852, p. 220). One was taken at Montauk, Aug. 15, 

 1907, by ]Mr. J. A. Weber. 



44. .ffistrelata hasitata. Black-capped Petrel. 



Normally of the warmer parts of the Atlantic. There is 

 but one Long Island record, that of a specimen taken at Quogue, 

 in 1850 (G. N. Lawrence, Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist., v, 1852, p. 

 220). 



45. Oceanodroma leucorhoa. Leach's Petrel. 



Apparently a rare migrant. It breeds from the coast of 

 INIaine northward and is also found commonly on the Pacific. A 

 single specimen struck Fire Island Light, INIay 4, 1888 (Dutcher, 

 Auk, vi, 1889, p. 131). It has been noted by observers along 

 the coast also in July and August, but these observations seem 

 not to exclude a possible confusion with the following species. 



46. Oceanites oceanicus. Wilson's Petrel. 



This is the common petrel found off our coast in summer. 

 July 20 (Rockaway, W. Dutcher, Auh, vi, 1889, p. 132) to Aug. 

 17 (Little Gull Island, B. H. Dutcher, Auk, vi, 1889, p. 128). .
