Dr. Coues in his " Monograph " of the Spheiiiscidce revives 

 Scopoli's name for this species, and in this I think he is 

 justified, for, laying aside Gmelin's title of imtavlionica 

 which confuses two species, the Apterodyta longirodris of 

 Scopoli (Del Faun, et Flor. Insubr. ii. p. 91), seems to be 

 the next in order of priority. It is founded on "Le 

 Manchot de la Nouvelle Guinee " of Sonnerat, (Voy. K G. 

 ]). 180, pi. 113), and although the figure in this plate is 

 very bad, representing tlie black on the throat as extending 

 far down to the centre of the breast, the description quite 

 agrees. 



A single specimen was brought by the Expedition, sup- 

 posed to be from Kerguelen Island,
