The following is a List of the birds, not from New Zealand, but obtained in other parts of the southern ocean by the 

 Antartic Expedition and figured in the present work. 



Family, ScoLOPACiDiE. 



Gallinago stricklandii.

Scolopax spectabilis, Hartl. Naum. 1853,^. 216. 



A pair of this fine Snipe was obtained by the Antarctic 

 Expedition at Hermit Island. 



Family, Anatid^. 



Cloephaga inornata. 



Plate 30. 



Anser inornatus, mas.. King, P. Z. S. 1830, p. 15. 



Branta inornata, Gray, Handl. B. iii, p. 77. 



Cloephaga inornata, Scl. & Salv. Nomencl. av. neotr., p. 

 128. 



The bird figured in the plate is the t}'j)e of King's Anser 

 inornatus, and was received by the Museum from the 

 Zoological Society. It is not referable, as far as I can see, 

 to any of the allied species. Dr. Sclater, (P. Z. S., 1860, p. 

 388,) also writes : — " The bird described as A7ias inornatus, 

 mas, by Capt. King, which is now in the British Museum, 

 is decidedly different, in my opinion, from both Chloephar/a 

 poliocephala and C. rahidiceps, most nearly resembling the 

 male of C. magellanica, but bemg much smaller." 



Cloephaga rubidiceps. 

 Plate 24. 



Bernicla inornata, Gi-ay, Voy. Ereb. & Terr. Birds, p/. 24. 



Cloepliaga rubidiceps, Scl. 'P. Z. S., 1860, j^- 387, pi. 

 xxxiii; Gray, Handl. B. iii, j}. 77; Scl. & Salv. Nomencl. av. 

 neotr, p. 128. 



Tliis sjiecies was first discriminated from G. poliocephala 

 V>y Dr. Sclater (/. c), and the differences are duly set forth 

 by him. He ajipears, however, to have overlooked the 

 plate published (without text) in the present work, and has 

 refigiired the species in the "Proceedings." The plate here 

 given is not altogether exact, as the barred flank-feathers 



extend farther along the sides of the body to tlie vent. Mr. 

 Wolf's excellent plate, accompanying 1 )r. Sclater's paper, is 

 more accurate, and on comparing it witli the iUustration.s of 

 C. poliocephala, (Zool. Sk. 1st series, pi. xlix) a very good idea 

 of the differences between these two species can be 

 formed. 



Two specimens from the Falkland Islands, male and 

 female, were obtained by the Expedition. 



Family, Procellariid^. 



Pagodroma nivea. 



(Plate 34.) 



Procellaria nivea, (Gm.); Gray, Voy. Ereb. & Terr, Birds, 

 pi. 34; id. List Grallm &c., B. jil, p. 104; Coues, Pr Phil' 

 Acad., 1866, p. 160. 



Fulmarus niveus. Gray, Handl. B. iii, p. 107. 



Several specimens were procured by the expedition, and 

 are duly enumerated in Mr. Gray's list, (l. c). 



PKIOCELLA ANTARCTICA. 



(Plate 33.) 



Procellaria antarctica, G7n. ; Gi-ay, Voy. Ereb. & Terr, jA 

 33 ; id. List Grcdlm dr., B. M„ p. 163. 



Thalassoica antarctica, Reich. ; Coues, Pr. Philad. Acad 

 1866, ;j. 31. 



Fulmarus antarcticus. Gray, Handl. B. iii, p. 105. 



Dr. Coues has separated this species as a Thala.ssoica 

 apart from the Fulmarus, and I follow him as the best 

 authority on this group of birds. But Eeichenbach's 

 generic name must give way to Priocclla of Jacquinoi 

 (Voy. Pole Sud, iii, p. 148),"and this species should be 

 known as Priocclla antarctica. 



Family, SpheniscidjE.
