1864. CoUEs, E. A critical Review of the Family Pioccllarida- ; I'ait 1., cmbraciug 

 the Piocellarieoe, or Stormy Petrels. < Proc. Acad. Xaf. Sci. Phihi., xW, 1864, 

 pp. 72-91. 



This is the first of a series of five papers in which the whole family ProceUariidce are critic- 

 ally reviewed. The Petrels are divided into three subfamilies, Procellariince, IXomedeince, 

 and Halodromince, the first of these into the sections Procellariece, Pufflnece, Fulmarece, 

 ^strdatece, and Prionece. Of the mode in which the genera and species are handled it may 

 be remarked that those actually known by specimens to the author are carefully and satis- 

 factorily described, and that the synonymy and criticism ^presented in such cases is in the 

 main correct; but that the writer is not so fortunate in the instances in which he attempted 

 to supplement his own knowledge by compilation from the writings of others, he having suf- 

 fered not a little from imprudence in believing Bonaparte. The follo-wTng 8 genera and 21 

 species oi Procellariea or "Stormy Petrels" are treated: — 



1. Oceanodroma fiircata. 2. O.hornbyi. 3. Cymochorea (g.n.,-p.T6) leucorrhoa. 4. C. me- 

 lania. 5. C homochroa, sp. n., p. 77. 6. Halocyptena (g. n., p. 78) tnicrosoma, sp.n., p. 79.

 getta tropica. 18. F. grallaria. 19. F. melanogmtra. 20. F. lawrencii. 21, Pelagodroma 

 fregata. The paper concludes with an analytical and diagnostic synopsis of these genera 

 and species. For Part II, see next title ; for Parts III-V, see 1866.

This Part opens with a criticism of Bonaparte, whom the writer seems to have just begun 

 to find out, and continues with a discussion of 20 spp. of 3 genu, of (Estrclatece, and 5 spp. of 

 2 genn. of Prionece; concluding with an analytical diagnostic synopsis of these two groups. 



The genus (Estrelata (oisTpijAaros) is misspelled ASstrelata. as was the tashion then.
