12. Puffinus puffinus (Brünnich). [Noordsche pijlstormvogel]. 



This species is recorded by Temminck as having been 

 captured in Holland. We have in the collection the two 

 types of Procellaria anglorum Temminck (Man. d'Orn. 

 2 e éd. II, 1820, p. 806), one originally labelled by Temminck 

 » Puffinus anglorum, Europe" and the other one » Puffinus 

 anglorum, Europe sept."; these localities have been changed 

 by Schlegel into „Mer du Nord" (Cat. Procellariae, Procellaria 

 anglorum, n os . 1 and 2). Specimens obtained in our country 

 are not known to me 



13. Puffinus grisea (Gmelin). [Grauwe pijlstormvogel]. 



This species is not represented in our collection of indi- 

 genous birds. An old male, captured 15 October 1900 at 

 Hornhuizeo, province of Groningen, is in the possession of 

 Baron R. Snouckaert van Schauburg (Tijdschr. Ned. Dierk. 

 Yereen. VII, 1902, p. 43). 



SULIDAE. 



14. Sula bassanus (L.). [Jan van Gent]. 



We received three adult specimens, viz. a 9 captured alive 

 7 October 1905 near Noordwijk, a 9 killed 15 November 

 1907 on the Zuiderzee and a 9 killed 30 January 1908 near 

 den Helder. It seems that young specimens are at present 

 much rarer than in former days. 



Phalacrocoracidae. 



15. Phalacrocorax carbo (L.). [Schollevaar]. 



A pale brown variety of this species was received 19 

 October 1905. It had been killed on the Kagermeer the 



1) Puffinus obscura (Gmelin) is placed wrongly on the list of the birds of 

 Holland by Schlegel. Out of Temminck's statements (Man. d'Orn. 2e éd. II, 

 1820, p. 808; IV, 1840, p. 5L0) is not to read, that an example has been 

 killed in our country. 



C. Nozeman (Nederlandsche Vogelen, IV, 1809, p. 369) gives under the 

 name of Procellaria ptiffinus, B. Linn, the description and a coloured plate of 

 a Daption capens'xs (L.), which was said to have been killed some years before 

 near Sloterdijk, Noord-Holland.
