P. pelagicvis. — Hah. Coast of Kamtschatka and Aleutian Islands ; 

 south in winter to Kuriles and Northern Japan. 



P. pelagicus rohustiis. — Hab. Coast of Alaska, from Norton Sound, 

 south to "Washington Territorj-. 



P. pelagicus resplendens. — Hab. Pacific Coast, from Washington 

 Territory to Western Mexico (Mazatlan and Cape St. Lucas). See 

 Ridgway, Man. N. Amer. B. 2nd ed. p. 80 (1896). 



Of these, typical specimens of P. robtistus, Ridgway, are absolutely 

 identical with typical specimens of P. 'pelagicus, Pallas, from 

 Kamtschatka, and it is incorrect to say that the former have the 

 bill much stouter. Typical specimens of P. resplendens, Audubon, 

 from the Pacific coast of N. America are certainly on the whole 

 slightly smaller than the more northern representatives of the 

 species, and in this respect they follow the general rule. It is, 

 however, needless to separate them under a different name, for the 

 plumage in all is absolutely identical and the differences in size 

 are of no importance, since the extreme forms gradually merge into 

 one another. 



Hab. East coast of Asia from Kamtschatka to South China, to 

 west coast of North America from Alaska to West Mexico.
