 Phalacrocorax urile, Bonap. Comptes Rendu?, XLII, Ap. 1856, 766. 



Sp. Ch. — Dark green ; on the face and upper part of the neck are long narrow hair-like feathers of a straw color ; gular sack 

 orange ; a large white mark on each side near the leg. 



AduU. "Face and crest rich deep shining purple; neck deep greenish blue; the face and the upper part of the neck 

 ornamented with some thinly dispersed, long, narrow hair-like straw-colored feathers ; body above and beneath deep glossy 

 green ; ecapularies and wings deep purple, primaries and tail black, the latter with white shafts ; on each side of the abdomen, 

 at the insertion of the leg, a large patch of white; bill blackish hair-color, lighter at the tip ; naked part of the throat, corners 

 of the mouth, and naked skin of the coverts apparently rich orange." 



" Total length, 36 inches ; bill, 4 ; tail, 9 ; tarsi, 3.^' 



" Ilab. — Russian America." 



"Nearly allied to, if not identical with, but differs from the Pdecanus urik of Latham iu its much larger size, and in the 

 ornamental plumes being dispersed over face and sides of the neck, instead of on the front of the latter only." 



There are no specimens of this species in the collection. 



The above is Mr. Gould's account of this species, taken from the Zoology of the Voyage of 

 the Sulphur. 



There appears to be some doubt whether this may not be the Ked-faced Cormorant of Pennant 

 and Latham, (" Pel. urile, Gmelin.") Gray puts it under P. urile, Gm., with a question, and 

 Bonaparte at one time also considered it to be that species, but finally concluded it was 

 distinct.
