48 BULLETIN OF THE LIVERPOOL MUSEUMS. 
Zosterops griseiventris, Sclat. (Fig. 3), is apparently nearly allied to 
Z. citrinella, Bp., of the lesser Sunda Islands and Eastern Java, and is the 
representative of the genus in the Tenimber Islands. The specimen figured, 
a female from Larat, is a Co-type of the species, and was discovered by 
Mr. H. O. Forbes in 1882 during his exploration of Timor-laut. The Type is 
in the National Collection. 
Birds in the Derby Museum collected in the 
Antarctic Regions. 
IN view of the great interest attaching, at the present time, to the natural 
history of the Antarctic Continent, it may not perhaps be amiss to give a 
short account of the birds from that region now contained in the Liverpool 
Museums. 
The birds are entirely derived from the Antarctic Expedition of H.M.SS. 
Erebus and Terror and were either collected by Sir (then Dr.) Joseph Hooker, 
the Assistant-surgeon of the Erebus, and presented through his father to the 
XIIIth Lord Derby, or else purchased by the Earl from members of the crew 
(through a London dealer named Isaacson), with the exception of one or two 
specimens in the Tristram Collection, presented to the Canon by their collec- 
tor, Dr. Gunn, who was also attached to the expedition. 
The following is the list of species in this Museum :— 
ANSERES. 
Nettion flavirostre (Vicill.). 
The Museum contains a nearly adult specimen of this species, marked ‘ Victoria 
Land, South Polar Expedition.” This is the first record of this bird from the 
Antarctic regions. 
LIMICOL. 
Chionis alba (m.). 
Our specimen of this Sheathbill was shot by Dr. Gunn, of H.M.S. Terror on the 
Antarctic Continent, in Lat. 78° S (cf. Tristram, Ibis, 1895, p. 165). 
#Egialitis falklandica (Lath.). 
This is an adult specimen from Victoria Land of a bird (in incipient breeding 
plumage) not hitherto recorded from Antarctica. 
TUBINARES. 
Prion banksi, Gould. 
Collected off Victoria Land, Lat. 74°S, by Dr. J. Hooker. This is the first record of 
this species also from the Antarctic regions. 
Pagodroma nivea ((7.). 
Of this species there are two specimens from Antarctica in the Museum ; one collec- 
ted by ‘*Dr. W. Gunn, R.N., H.M.S. Yerror shot from the shore by himself” 
(Tristram, Cat. Coll. Birds, p. 6, 1889); and another labelled ‘‘ g Victoria Land.” 
PYGOPODES. 
Podicipes calipareus, Less. 
We have one male in breeding plumage from Victoria Land labelled as having 
been shot by the Acting Master, Pownall P. Cotter, of H.M.S. Verror. This 
species has not hitherto been recorded from Antarctica.
