Without attempting to decide the question as to how many species of Prion exist, 

 I use the name Prion banksi for these birds, as their bills agree most nearly with that of 

 the type of Prion banksi in the British Museum.

Eyes hazel. These birds and another one which was put in spirit were found dead. 

 Two were picked up by the boat in which Captain Maclear and I went, floating on the 

 surface of the water ; and the third was picked up by the galley on the rocks. They 

 were quite fresh ; the bodies were very thin. 



Their stomachs were filled with small leaves. It looks very much as if these birds 

 had got out of their region. Mr Moseley says he saw what he supposed to be one of 

 these birds on Penguin Island.]
