BIRDS OF THE GALAPAGOS ARCHIPELAGO— RIDG WAT. vol.xix. 



applies only to iniinatuie birds or adults just before the molt takes 

 jiliice, the fully adult birds, at least those iu fresh plunuiye, having the 

 pileuni distinctly gray, though many shades darker than iu .4.. stolidus, 

 the color being a clear brownish slate-gray or smoke gray, changing 

 rather abruptly to a hoary hue next to the upper margin of the black 

 lores, where forming a rather distinct though narrow line. The colur 

 of the body, wings, and tail, however, is very different from that of 

 A. stoiidus, being dark sooty slate, instead of much lighter vsooty brown; 

 in fact, the general color of the plumage is exactly the same as in 

 A. lencocapiUi(s, Gould,' except that the tail and its coverts are nearly 

 or quite concolor with the other parts, instead of having a more or 

 less distinct grayish cast. 



The ^^Anoiis stolid iis^' from Chatham Island mentioned in my paper ^ 

 on the Albatross collection is not that species, but the fresh-i^lumaged 

 adult of A. fjalapayensis. The erroneous identification was made not 

 by comparison with A. stolidiis, but with dusky crowned specimens 

 corresponding with those described by ]\Ir. Shari)e.
