The series of this Shag is quite sufficient to warrant us in adhering to the species as 

 distinct. The principal characters are clearly pointed out by Dr Cabanis in his original 

 description ; and a good figure is given of the adult male under the second reference 

 given above. Not one of the six specimens, of which a, b, and apparently/ are adult, 

 shows any traces of the white line along the upper wing-coverts, or of the white spot in 

 the middle of the back which distinguish Phalacrocorax impenalis. The female d, is 

 in young plumage. 



The plate (XXVI.) represents an adult male (a) and a female (d), in immature 

 plumage.
