[Notice sur quelques Pelicans nouveaux ou peu connus de rAm^rique 

 meridionale. Bull. Soc. Philomath. Paris, 1878, p. 208.] 



Describes a Pelican from Ancon^ in Peru, presented to 

 the Paris Museum by M. Barbier, points out its difference

 case it should prove really distinct. 



[Through Mr. Howard Saunders^s kindness I have recently 

 obtained a specimen of a Pelican from Iquique_, in Peru, 

 exactly answering to Dr. Oustalet's bird. I have no doubt 

 that it is an adult example of P. molinte. — O. S.]
