Sulu variegata. — Concerning this bird, of which very little is known, and which I 

 mention merely to complete the family of Gannets, Mr. Salvin, in a letter to me, says : — 

 " Sida variegata is only found along a limited portion of the west coast of South America, 

 but is, I believe, common on the Chincha Islands, being one of the guano producers. 

 I have no doubt whatever it is a very distinct species. It is not at all likely that it 

 would be seen during a voyage to Australia."
