192 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OP 



Pp. 80, 81, 90. There can be no doubt of the propriety of referring P. lugu- 

 bris Natterer, and P. melitensis Schembri, to pelagica L. Proc. tethys Bp., also 

 seems hardly distinct. 



Pp. 81, 90. Thalassidroma fasciolata Tschudi has been recognized by other 

 writers as valid. 



Pp. 84, 91. Oceanil.es segethi ex Ph. et Ldbk. is undoubtedly a synonym of 

 0. gracilis ex Elliot, as intimated in my paper. 



Pp. 87, 91. Fregetta Lawrcncii Bp. is probably a synonym of grallaria Bp. 

 ex Vieill. as Mr. Lawrence himself originally believed. The point cannot now, 

 however, be positively determined, as the specimen is lost. 



Pp. 88. 91. Bonaparte's identification of Linnaeus' Proc. frrgata, which I fol- 

 lowed, is by no means proven; and in view of the uncertainty attaching to 

 Linnaeus' diagnosis (which may refer to some species of the genus Fregetta) it 

 may be as well to take our specific name from Latham's unequivocal indica- 

 tion of P. marina ; calling the species Pelagodroma marina after Reichenbach. 



Fujfinese. 



Pp. 122, 142, 143. Genera " Thiellus " and " Neetris." The points in which 

 these groups differ from Puffinus proper, are exceedingly trivial, as I state in 

 my paper. I am now indisposed to retain them, even on the plea of utility, 

 and would accordingly unite all their species under Puffinus. 



Pp. 119, 141. Adamasfor Bp. According to Mr. G. R. Gray the type 

 of the genus Priofinus of Hombron and Jacquinot is based upon the bird Bo- 

 naparte calls Adam, lypus, and it has priority over Bonaparte's designation. 

 If this be the case the three species should stand as Priof. cinereus, Priof. 

 gelidus and Priof. sericeus. 



Pp. 118, 141. Majaqucus Reich. If Proc. Parkinsoni Gray, (Ibis 1864) is a valid 

 species, it may belong to this genus rather than to the fuliginous group of 

 yEstrelata under which I have considered it. Additional data concerning it are 

 greatly to be desired. 



P. 121. Add Daplion geHdurn Steph. Shaw's Gen. Zool. xiii. p. 245, to syno- 

 nyms of Adamastor gelidus. 



P. 123. Puffinus fuliginosus. I have received specimens from the Pacific 

 coast of North America which I cannot distinguish from the common Atlantic 

 bird. It is quite different from the species I have named Puffinus amavriso- 

 ma, p. 124. By a misapprehension of a remark of Dr. Kuhl, I erroneously 

 state that fuliginosa Forst., Descr. sp. 18, is a species of Neciris ; whereas 1 am 

 now satisfied it is the same as Kuhl's sp. 12, which is ihe Pterodroma atlantica 

 of Bonaparte. Compare my remarks under JEstrelata fuliginosa in part iv. of 

 these papers. Kuhl's fuliginosa sp. 27, after Banks' tab. 23, is identified by Mr. 

 Gray with paeifica Lath. 



P. 126. N. carneipes. On the authority of Dr. Schlegel I placed cinereusjuv. 

 Smith, and gama Bp. as synonyms of this species. Mr. Gray considers them 

 as referring to a species of Ncctr is or rather Puffinus not recognized in my pa- 

 per, viz.: P. tristis Forst. I am entirely unacquainted with this bird, if it be 

 a valid species. Bonaparte and Schlegel make it the same as tenuiroslrit 

 Temm. 



Pp. 131, 144. A second specimen of Puffinus ere a lopus has been received 

 from the same locality. 



Pp. 141, 144. Procellaria nugax Sol. This unpublished specific name should 

 not take precedence over assimilis of Gould. 



Fulmarese. 



Add Fulmarus antarcticus Steph. Shaw's Gen. Zool. 1825, xiii. p. 236, to the 

 Eynomyms of Thalassoica glacialoides. 



' Add Daplion antarcticum op. cit. p. 242, to synonyms of Thalassoica antarc- 

 tica.
