Cory’s Shearwater at Newport, R. I.—In the Auk for January, 1887, an 
account was given by Prof. Baird of the occurrence of great numbers of 
Jaegers and Cory’s Shearwaters, found feeding upon the young herring, 
which, towards the end of September, 1886, abounded from Point Judith 
to Vineyard Sound. On the 30th of the same month, I received from 
J. Glynn, Jr., of Newport, a Shearwater which appeared to me to be 
Puffinus borealis, and Mr. Cory has since kindly confirmed the identifica¬ 
tion. This furnishes some evidence to show that the flight of these birds 
extended as far west as the mouth of Narragansett Bay.— William C.
