Spotted Harrier {Circus assimilis), and Fairy Martin {Petrochelidon 

 artel), while the Red Goshawk {Erythrotriorchis radiatus) was 

 doubtfully identified. 



Regarding the movements of partially migratory species, data 

 have been briefly mentioned, where available, under their re- 

 spective names, except the Bee-eater {M crops ornatus), of which 

 there was no skin. These birds were seen or heard every day 

 during March, and on the nth and 12th April were observed or 

 heard calhng as they flew northward. Mr. M'Lennan left the 

 following day. 



Australian Species of Tubinares (Petrels and 



Albatrosses). 



By W. B. Alexander, M.A., Keeper of Biology, Western 

 Australian Museum, Perth. 



{Continued from page 24.) 

 [Genus Pagodroma. 

 Pagodroma nivea (Gmelin.) Snowy Petrel. 



This has been included in Australian lists, but there is no 

 record of its occurrence in our area. It is an inhabitant of 

 Antarctic seas, and has never been met with far north of the ice.] 



Genus Macronectes. 



This genus has usually been known under the name of Ossifraga, 

 Hombron et Jacquinot, 1844 ; but Wood hack previously used this 

 name for a genus in 1836. Richmond renamed the genus Macro- 

 nectes in 1906. 



Macronectes giganleus (Gmelin). Giant Petrel or Fulmar, Nelly, 

 or Stjnkpot. 



A regular winter visitor to the southern coasts of Australia ; 

 not infrequently blown ashore. It has been obtained on the east 

 coast as far north as Sydney, and on the west coast as far north as 

 Houtman's Abrolhos. A white form of the species occurs, but 

 it is very rare in Australian waters. One was obtained on the 

 coast of New South Wales in September, 1914 {Emu, xv., p. 215). 

 The suggestion quoted by Mathews — that the Giant Petrel breeds 

 on islands off Fremantle — is certainly without foundation (7, p. 188). 



The type locality of the species is Statcn Island, Tierra del Fuego, 

 and Mathews distinguishes the birds found in Australian waters 

 as M. g. dovei {Austral Avian Record, iii., p. 54). 



[Genus Thalassoica. 

 Thalassoica antarctica (Gmelin). Antarctic Fulmar. 



This bird has been included in i\ustralian lists, perhaps through 

 confusion with Priocclla antarctica (Stephens). There is no record 

 of its occurrence in our region.]
