(Etiireluta phU'tpjA Saunders (nee Or.), P. Z. S. 18(S0, 

 p. 164 (lat. 37°r)9'S., long. 29°18'E.). 



Minor ; supra fusco-cinerea, alis obscurioribus ; fronte 

 albo-varia ; corpora subtus albo, scd fascia pectoral! 

 transversa cinerea ornato ; lateribus vix cinereo variis. 

 Long. tot. circa mm. 330; al. 255; caud. 105; tarsi 32; 

 rostri culm. 28-29. 



Hab. in Oceano Atlantico et Indico australi. 



This species is confined to the Southern Seas, especially the 

 Southern Atlantic and Southern Indian Oceans, between the 

 20th and the 50th parallels ; the most western point where 

 it has been found being Nightingale Island, near Tristan 

 da Cunha. In the Indian Ocean it probably lives round 

 Kerguelen Island ; by Gould it is mentioned from the seaa 

 ofl" the eastern end of St. Paul and Amsterdam Islands; in the 

 British Museum there is one specimen from North-west 

 Australia and others (doubtfully) from South Australia. Prof. 

 Giglioli, during the voyage of the ' Magenta/ met with this 

 species between latitudes 42° 47' and 40° 42' S. and longitudes 

 3° 26' and 53° 20' E., and again in the South Australian 

 seas from lat. 37° 22' S., long. 112° 5' E., nearly to the 

 entrance of Port Phillip. 



The presence of (E. mollis in the seas north of New 

 Zealand is open to doubt, and I should say that the speci- 

 mens from New Caledonia — where, according to Layard, 

 (E. mollis breeds on Mount Mon — also require comparison.
