TUBE-NOSED SWIMMERS 
[98.] Black-capped Petrel. JEstrelata hasi- 
tata. 
This is not a common species; it is an inhabit- 
ant of tropical seas and has only been casually 
found on our coasts or inland. It is a handsome 
species with white forehead, underparts and nape 
with a small isolated black cap on the crown; 
the rest of the upper parts are blackish. It is a 
native of the West Indies. 
[99-] Scaled Petrel. JEstrelata scalaris. 
This is another rare species which is an in- 
habitant of southern seas. A single specimen 
taken in New York State gives it a claim as a 
doubtful North American species. It is a hand- 
some bird, the feathers of the grayish upperparts 
being edged with white, thus giving it the appear- 
ance of being barred. Its egg have only been 
known to science within the past few years.
