inner quills and coverts chiefly white; primaries chiefly white on inner webs, their shafts 
yellow. No dark phase known. Status of species not fully established—may be misunder- 
stood phase of F. g. glupischa.

Occurrence in Washington.—Is sure to occur off our coasts in equal abundance with 
glupischa. 
H. No. 47. 
SLENDER-BILLED FULMAR. 
A. O. U. No. 87. Priocella glacialoides (Smith). 
Description.—4Adult: “Plumage white with clear pearly-blue mantle and black prima- 
ries, just like a Gull. Mantle beginning faintly on nape, continuing over whole back, rump, 
tail, wing-coverts, and inner quills; edge of wing slaty-gray; lining of wing mostly white; 
primaries black, their shafts yellowish-white at base, their inner webs pearly white to near 
the ends; white of first primary extending to within 2.00 of the tip, farther on the rest 
successively, reaching end of 6th; outer webs of secondaries slaty-black; a small dusky 
spot before eye; a faint pearly shade on sides of breast and body. Bill yellow; nasal-tube, 
hook, and sometimes base of upper mandible obscured with bluish horn color or blackish; 
feet pale flesh-color, obscured on outer toe, drying blackish” (Coues). Length about 18.50; 
wing 13.00; tail 5.25. graduated for 1.00; bill 2.00, depth and width at base .75; tarsus 2.00. 
Range.—"Seas of the southern hemisphere, and northward along Pacific coast of North 
America to Washington” (A. O. U.). 
Supposed Occurrence in Washington.— ‘The claim of F. glacialoides to a place in 
the fauna of North America rests, I believe, solely upon the type said to have been taken 
off the Columbia River. If the specimen came from there as reported, the bird must be 
regarded as a very rare or accidental visitor to our coast, for none of the later observers 
have met with the species.”"—A, W. Anthony 
PUBLISHERS’ NOTE. 
Because “Tue Brrps of WASHINGTON” has now considerably exceeded the limits of 
space originally assigned to it, it has been found necessary to omit the Bibliographies alluded 
to in the Preface. These would necessarily have been of a somewhat technical character 
and of doubtful interest to the majority of our readers, but we regret the possible dis- 
appointment of others
