Hasitata, probably a misprint for hsesUdta, from 'hsesitare=io be unoertiain, 

 hesitating, as if it were a doubtful species. 



Distribution in the British Islands. — A Rare Visitor. One 

 was captured alive at Southacre, near Swafthain, Norfolk, 

 in March or April 1850. 



General Distribution. — The (tapped Petrel formerly in- 

 habited the middle Atlantic, breeding on the Lesser Antilles 

 and wandering to Hayti, the eastern United States from 

 Florida to New Hampshire and inland to Ontario. The 

 history of a specimen in the Museum at Boulogne, said to 

 have been killed near that town, seems doubtful. Tlie species 

 is bi-lieved to be extinct.
