The actual date of the paper is in question; but it probably appeared in 1873. 

 The wing-structure of ProceZtoriidee is treated with reference to the presence of one or two 

 ossicles at the elbow-joint, developed in connection with the apophysial booklet of the hu- 

 merus, and the origin of the extensor metacarpi longus and extensor plicae alaris. These 

 ossicles are found in 6 genera and not in 8, but the 6 are enough richer in species to indicate 

 that they occur in about two-thirds of the species of the family. Being peculiar to Procel- 

 lariidce, it is proposed to divide the group primarily upon this character.

A specially important and trustworthy paper, clearing up many obscure moot points in 

 this difficult group. It consists of two separately titled and paged parts. Parti: Banks's 

 unpublished Drawings. This is an attempt to identify these drawings, which iigure so 

 prominently in the literature of Procellariidce, yet are really little understood, and accessible 

 to few. The 16 spp. drawn by Parkinson, being Nos. 12-27, are nearly aU satisfactorily 

 accounted for. Part II is : The new species of Petrels obtained during the Voyage of tlie Italian 

 Corvette 'Magenta' round the World. These are described, aud all are figured in colors, as 

 follows: PI. XXX, (Estralata magenta!, p. 2.51; PI. xxxi, (E. arminjoniana, p. 252; PI. xxxii, 

 CE. trinitatis, p. 253; PI. xxxiii, (E. defilippiana, p. 255; PI. sxxiv, Puffinus elegans, p. 256.
