Ohs. This species was described by John Mac- 

 gillivray, who found it in the New Hebrides, Zool, 

 1860, p. 7133, and was named by him Procellaria 

 torquata. Having adopted this specific name in the 

 Zoologist, 1890, when reporting the specimen above 

 mentioned, it will perhaps be less confusing to 

 retain it here than to change it to hrevipes, Peale, 

 which, it seems, was bestowed some years previously. 

 See Salvin, "Cat. Birds Brit. Mus.," vol. xxv. p. 408. 

 The specimen in question, purchased by Mr. J. W. 

 Willis Bund, and presented by him to the British 

 Museum, is figured by Mr. Saunders in the second 

 edition of his "Manual," as well as in The Ibis for 

 1891, as above noted.
