This paper gives an account of the specimens oi: Antarctic 

 birds in the Liverpool Museum derived from the Museum of 

 Lord Derby. They belong to eight species, amongst which 

 no fewer than five are new to the Antarctic list lately compiled 

 by Sclater (Ibis, 1894, p. 494), viz. Nettion flavirostre, 

 ^gialitis falklandica, Prion banksi, Podicipes calipareus, and 

 Phalacrocorax atriceps. All the specimens were obtained

 and are consequently authentic.
