BRITISH BIRDS 



Cape Verde Little Shearwater, Puffinus boydi, Mathews. One picked up at 

 Pevensey, Sussex, December 4th, 19 14, and another obtained at St. Leonards, 

 Sussex, January 2nd, 191 5. It differs very slightly from the Little Dusky Shear- 

 water, Puffinus assimilis, figured in vol. iv., plate 79, but is rather browner in the 

 colour of the upper parts and has the under tail-coverts darker (v. Witherby's 

 British Birds, January 1916). 



North Atlantic Great Shearwater, Piiffinus borealis, Cory. One obtained at St. 

 Leonards, Sussex, March 14th, 191 4. Differs chiefly, from the Mediterranean Great 

 Shearwater, Puffinus kukli, in having a larger and heavier bill (v. Witherby's 

 British Birds, January 1916).
