30. Gray Shearwater: {Puffinis huhUL) 



A occasional visitor. 



[Kumlien reported finding this bird in Grinnell Bay, but 

 the correctness of the report was questioned, and the name 

 was placed on the " hypothetical list " by the A. 0. U. 

 Committee, on the ground that no example of the species 

 had been taken on the Western side of the Atlantic. Its 

 usual habitat is south of 40°, being especially abundant 

 in the Mediterranean ; but Professor Newton states that 

 Moschler received a specimen from Greenland, which is now 

 in the Leyden Museum. Saunders considers the species 

 identical with P. horealis of Cory. — M. C]
