366 CHECK-LIST OF NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS. 



[Aechmophorus clarki (Lawrence). Clark's Grebe. 



Podiceps clarkii Lawrence, in Baird, Cassin, and Lawrence, Rep. Expl. 

 and Surv. R. R. Pac, IX, 1S5S, 895. (San Pablo Bay, California.) 



Now regarded as a plumage phase of Ae. occidenlalL^ (Lawrence) and 

 dropped from the List in the third edition.] 



Diomedea exulans Linnaeus. Wandering Albatross. 



Diomedea exulans Linn.\eus, Syst. Nat., ed. 10, I, 1758, 152. (Cape of 

 Good Hope region.) 



Entered in the Hypothetical List in the second edition. North American 

 records of this species of the southern oceans are regarded as unsatisfactory. 



Thalassogeron chrysostomus (Forster), Flat-billed Albatross. 



Diomedea chrysostoma J. R. Forster, Ali'm. Math. Phys. (Paiis), X, 

 1785, 571 (pi. xiv). (voisinage du cercle polaire antarctique it dans 

 rOcean pacifique = Off Cape of Good Hope.) 



North American records of this species of the southern oceans are unsatis- 

 factory. They consist of a specimen supposed to have been taken off the 

 Oregon coast by Townsend (cf. Audubon, Orn. Biog., V, 1839, 326, and Stone, 

 Auk, XLVII, 1930, 414) and a skull supposed to belong to this species found 

 on the California coast (cf. Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci., IV, 186S, 12). This species 

 appears as T. cidminatus, Yellow-nosed Albatross, in the third edition of the 

 Check List and is there confused with T. chlororlnjnchiis to which the name 

 Yellow-nosed Albatross moie properly belongs. 



Phoebetriai palpebrata auduboni Nichols and Murphy. American Sooty 

 Albatross. [84.] 



Phoebetria palpebrata auduboni Nichols and Murphy, Auk, XXXI, No. 

 4, Oct., [Sept. 30], 1914, 531. (Oregon = probably central or southern 

 Pacific Ocean. 



Audubon's record of specimens supposed to have been taken by Townsend 

 off the coast of Oregon regarded as not satisfactory (cf. Audubon, Orn. 

 Biog., V, 1839, 116, and Stone, Auk, XLVII, 1930, 414.). Appeared in the 

 third edition as P. palpebrata; now transferred to the Hypothetical List. 



Pufiinus kuhli (Boie). Cinereous Shearwater. 



Procellaria kuhlii Boie, Isis von Oken, [XXVIII] 1835, Heft v (March), 

 col. 257. (corsicanischen Kiiste = Coast of Corsica.) 



American records of this ea.stern Atlantic species are apparently based on 

 misidentifications. 



^Phoebetria Reichenbach, Avium Syst. Nat., 1852 [18.53], v. Type by 

 orig. desig., Diomedia fuliejinosa Gmelin = D. palpebrata Forster.
