INDEX. 



Authors differ in their ormthological names, bvit I trust the following will raeet with approval. 



The boardship names are given within brackets. Though most of these names hold good on board all .ships, I have 

 noticed that some ships' companies have their own peculiar nommes de mcr for certain birds. 



The habitat of each species is also given in this Index, but I do not mean to infer that they are not occasionally found 

 elsewhere.
