782 THE BIRDS OF LORD HOAVE AND NORFOLK ISLANDS. 



quata Giuldst., and Puffinus carneipes Gould. A specimen of the 

 latter was also obtained by Mr. E. H. Saunders, on the same 

 Island, as far back as 1887." In the " Monograph of Petrels," 

 (PI. ii., p.l42, 1908) is written of P. carneipes Gould, " Mr. Ernest 

 Saunders procured specimens on Norfolk Island and Lord Howe 

 Island"; and, on p. 144, "The specimen described is in the British 

 Museum, and was obtained by Mr. Ernest Saunders on Norfolk 

 Island." It would be interesting to learn whether this Petrel 

 .breeds on either of these groups, or whether the birds recorded 

 were simply stragglers. 



In the Catalogue of Birds, British Museum, xxiv., p.352, under 

 Nimienius cyanojncs Vieill., appears " Lord Howe Island, Sep. 8. 

 J. Macgillivray." As on p. 364, under Numenius variegatus Scop., 

 it is recorded that Macgillivray also collected that species, there 

 can be no doubt of the accuracy of the occurrence. N. cyanopus 

 . should, therefore, be added to the list. 



Another species, Megalestris antarctica Less., is mentioned in 

 the same Catalogue(Vol. xxv, p. 321): immature skin, Norfolk 

 island, F. M. Bayner, Esq.
