This has been one of the species doubtfully attributed to the Californian coast, the occurrence of which has only recently received verificat^^ion. It had not been met witii there by Dr. Cooper, and until identitied by Mi: Ileiisliaw, there was no satisfactory evidence in support of its claim to a place in the fauna of North America, lint little is known as to its habits, its distribution, or the places to which it resorts for breed- ing. Mr. Henshaw states that I'etrels appear to be (juite nununous along the entire coast of California. He received an example of this species from Captain Forney, who had procured it on San Miguel, where it was said to be breeding in great miu)ber,s. As usual with this family, it was nesting in bui-rows. Genus OCEANODROMA, Beiciignra( ii. Occmwdromr, Rkichexb. Av.
