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. |
