In the same seas is found The Spotted Petrel {Pr. eapeiisis).—Size of a small Duck, and white, spotted with black above. It is oftenmentioned by navigators [as the Cape Pigeon], The Fulmar Petrel (Pr. glacialis).—White, mth ash-coloured mantle, the bill and feet yellow, and size that ata large Duck. It nestles in the precipitous coasts of the [northern] British isles, and is found throughout thewhole north.
