In the Beskydy Mountains (Lachia area, 49°25′/20°15′), Northern Fulmar ( Fulmarus glacialis ) was caught of spring, probably before the school year 1902-03, probably in Nižní Lhoty in Silesia. The record of this specimen without any information in a school in Opava and an incomplete report of J. Vrbka about “Common Fulmar” in the Olomouc region (probably European Storm Petrel, Hydrobates pelagicus ) do not exclude occasional flights of Tubenoses into the inland Silesia and central Moravia in the past.
