Tl>e following species, which have appeared in lists of Aus- 

 tralian birds, are rejected for want of evidence as to their 

 occurrence : — Fregetta leiicogaster, Piiffinits lettcomelas, Puffinns 

 Iherminieri, Procellaria ceqiiinoctialis, Pterodroma brevipes, Ptero- 

 droma neglecta, Pagodroma nivea, Thalassoica antarctica, Diomedea 

 epomophora , and Diomedea albatrus. 



There remain ii breeding species and 26 visiting species. 



In conclusion, I would like to express the deep obligation of 

 all Australian workers on these birds to Mr. G. M. Mathews, who, 

 in his " Birds of Australia," has brought together such a valuable 

 amount of information concerning the literature of birds of this 

 order. , ' 



Penguins.

Part II. — Penguins of the Australasian Region. 



Eleven species of Penguins belonging to five genera (of the 

 recognized six) are found in this region, the most numerous being

 interesting, on account of the large number of species, and that
