outline of feathers on both mandibles; whitish, with a pink or yellow tinge. Very large: 

 length, 4.00-4.50 feet; extent 10 feet or more, usually about 10 50. Young are dark colored, 

 wiiitening on the head. It is probable that this species, already several times included in our 

 Fauna, and then dropped for lack of sufficient evidence of its occurrence, requires to be 

 reinstated. Its appearence in Florida has lately been recorded. The Auk, Oct. 1885, p. 387.

grayish-brown, lightening to ashy-gray on the neck and head, whitening on the under parts, 

 darkening on the wings to the dusky brown of the flight-feathers; lower eyelid, rump, and 

 upper tail-coA-erts white; tail slate-gray; shafts of primaries and tail-feathers yellowish. 

 Bill blacki.sh, the culmen and most of the side of the lower mandible more or less yellow. 

 Wing 21. HO; bill along culmen 4. .50, its depth at base 1.75; tarsus 3.25. A handsome 

 albatross of medium size, inhabiting southern seas, said by Audubon to have occurred 

 off the Columbia River. Audubon 'described it as the yellow-nosed albatross, D. chloro- 

 rhyncha ; but his specimen, which I handled many years ago, is clearly of this species, as I 

 first pointed out in Pr. Phila. Acad., 1866, p. 183.
