Leach’s Petrel at Brockton Heights. 
On October 16 th a boy brought me a Leach’s 
Petrel which he said a gentleman had shot 
while resting on an apple tree (the gentleman 
of course). This is the first time I ever heard 
of a Petrel being twenty miles inland, in 
Massachusetts at least. 
He was probably driven in by the north¬ 
east storm which existed at the time. But I 
have always supposed that a Petrel could with¬ 
stand the fury of the wildest tempest and this 
was only an ordinary storm. Still the fact re¬ 
mains that this one was twenty miles from 
the nearest salt water and in an apparently 
exhausted condition when captured. Let us 
hear from others on the subject, and if it is a 
common occurrence, I, at least, shall learn 
something new. R. II. Carr.
