Pterodroma mollis
Pelagic, breeding on islands in burrows on steep slopes.  
Is. in s Atlantic and s Indian oceans on Tristan da Cunha (incl. Gough), Kerguelen, Marion, Crozet (East), probably Antipodes.  
Ranges at sea in Atlantic and Indian oceans n to lat. 25°S.  It is unclear whether this species reaches the north Atlantic, although birds thought 
to be mollis have been reported.
-
Pterodroma incerta
Pelagic, breeding on islands in burrows.  
Tristan da Cunha (incl. Gough).  Ranges at sea between s S. America 
and S. Africa.
-
Pterodroma hasitata
Pelagic, breeding in burrows on mountain summits.  
The two races are sometimes treated as separate species.
P. h. hasitata  Highlands of W. Indies in Hispaniola, e Cuba, Guadeloupe, Dominica (probably extirpated), possibly Martinique. 
Ranges at sea in Atlantic n to Maine and s to Brazil.  Size variation in birds taken at sea suggests that additional breeding colonies may persist in the Caribbean. 
P. h. caribbaea  Jamaica (Blue Mts.), now probably extinct.
-
Bulweria fallax
Pelagic, presumably breeding on small islands.  
Breeding range unknown, probably on coast of s Arabia.  
Ranges at sea in Indian O. to lat. 5°S.; vagrant Hawaiian Is.  
Sometimes treated as a race of B. bulwerii.
