OENITHOLOGICAL NOTES FROM S.W. EUROPE. 467 



piece of artificial water by the road to the North Front at Gib- 

 raltar in November, 1899. 



Procellaria pelagica. — A pair of Stormy Petrels, blinded by a 

 search-light, flew through the port into an officer's cabin one 

 rather dirty night at Gibraltar. 



Alca torda. — Razorbills are occasionally seen on the western 

 coasts of the Spanish peninsula. 



Uria troile. — Guillemots occur like the above, and, if any- 

 thing, less commonly. 



These notes are admittedly very incomplete, and several more 

 species have had to be left out from failure of identification, as 

 during the time when most of them were made no guns were 

 allowed on shore, and therefore complete identification was im- 

 possible.
