Birds. 177 



cMororhynchus (Gm.) ; cf. Salvin, Orn. Misc., i., p. 238 ; 

 id., Cat. B., XXV., p. 451. 

 PI. 28. " The beak is of a lead colour, whitish towards the 

 base of the upper mandible ; the bag is of a dirty orange ; 

 the feathei's of the whole body is quite black, having a 

 cast of purple on the back ; the feet and claws lead 

 colour." " Rio Janeero. Specimen lost. To be coloured 

 from No. 3 in log No. , Pelecanus aquilus." 

 This is no doubt Fregata aquila (Linn.), Cat. B., xxvi., 

 p. 443. 

 PI. 29. "The beak and all the bare part round the eye is a 

 brownish grey, the point only excepted, which is whitish ; 

 the iris of the eyes grey, pupil black, the feet something 

 reddish." 

 " Terra del Fuego. Pelecanus antarcticus." 

 It is difficult to say what this pencil sketch actually repre- 

 sents. It may be intended for Phalacrocorax atriceps, King ; 

 Grant, Cat. B., xxvi., p. 390. In Solander's MSS. in the Museum 

 library there is a fuller description of Pelecanus antarcticus. 

 PI. 30. " Pelecanus serrator." 



= Sula serrator, G. R. Gray; cf. Grant, Cat. B., xxvi., p. 

 428. 

 Solander's MS. refers to a specimen being procured on the 

 24th of December, 1769. He gives a full description of the 

 bird. 



PI. 31. Phaeton eruhescens, Banks' MSS. 



= Phaethon rubricauda, Bodd. ; cf. Grant, Cat. B., xxvi., 

 p. 451. 

 A complete coloured figure inscribed " Sydney Parkinson 

 pinx. 1769. Tawai" [Otaheite Islands]. It bears the name of 

 Phaeton eruhescens, of which a full account is given in Solander's 

 MSS. This name is first published by G. R. Gray in his " List 

 of Anseres," p. 182. A life-sized drawing of the head is also 

 figured on this Plate 31. 



PI. 32. " Larus gregarius. Terra del Fuego." 



" The beak and feet the col^ of minium ; the breast and 

 belly white w* a cast of red, the same as in the Cocatoo 

 w* the red crest ; the claws dark brown ; the length 

 of the wing in the natural size 1 1 inches." 

 Mr. Howard Saunders, who has examined this Plate, which 

 is only a pencil outline, is of opinion that it is intended to repre- 

 sent Larus glaucodes, Meyen ; cf. Saunders, Cat. B., xxv., p. 203.
