Procellaria brevipes Peale, U.S. Ex pi. Exp., viii, pp. 294, 337, pi. 80

 (Estrelata brevipes (Peale), Saunders, p. 747. 



Distribution. — Wales. — One. Shot between Borth and Aberys- 

 twyth (Cardigan) end Nov. or beginning Dec, 1889 (J. E. Harting, 

 Zool, 1890, p. 454 ; Salvin, Ibis, 1891, p. 411). 



* The generic name Pterodroma, Bonaparte, 1856, antedates (Estrelata, 

 1857, which is generally erroneously quoted as having been published in 

 1855.— E.H. 



t The name Procellaria phillipii Gray, Ibis, 1862, p. 246, based on the 

 plate in Phillip, Voyage to Botany Bay, mvist remain doubtful until we know 

 which kind of Pterodroma breeds on Phillip Island. As this name is not 

 accepted, the English name " Phillip's Fulmar," used by Godman {Mon. Petrels, 

 p. 226), cannot be recommended. — E.H. 



X The name was spelt hasitata. We cannot possibly assume that this is a 

 misprint for hcesitata, because it is based on the " Hasita " of Forster's unpub- 

 lished plates. Temminck called it " Le Hasite." — E.H.
