J 66 Dr. G. Hartlaub on a new Species of Pytelia. 



* Fauna Japonica ' (there given as the young of D. brachtjura, 

 t. Ixxxvii.) the bill is not coloured sufficiently dingy, nor the 

 legs sufficiently black. 



66. Rhinoceros Auk. Ceratorhyncha monocerata (Pall.) . 

 An adult male without date, and two immature birds, one 



shot in March, of the female sex, the other a male shot in 

 April. 



67. Behring^s Dovekie. Uria antiqua (Gmel.). 

 An adult female of this pretty species, shot in April. 



68. Guillemot. Uria, sp. 



I am not able to refer this bird to any described species. 

 It is something like Brachyrhamphus marmoratus, but has a 

 longer bill, and is probably referable to an undescribed species 

 of Uria. 



The specimen received is a female shot in May. It is brown 

 marbled with blackish on the back, has a white band at the 

 base of the scapulars, and is white below obscurely barred 

 with black. Blakiston writes, " I have one nearly black 

 below, and more Woodcock-coloured above.''

Bondongo (Cameroons) . It is a female, and very probably an 



adult one. It is a typical Pytelia. I submitted this bird,
