580. PHABETRIA fuliginosa (Gmel.) Coues.—A ppears to be sufficiently 
distinet generically from Diomedea. 
583. PRIOCELLA tenuirostris (Aud.) . —This bird seems sufficiently 
distinet generically from Fulmarus, and has been made the type of Pri- 
ocella, by Hombron & Jacquinot (Compt. Rend., X VIII, 1844, p. 357.) 
095. PRIOFINUS melanurus (Bonn.) . —This species is the type of 
the genus Priofinus, Homb. & Jacq. (t. & p. 359). 
600. Puffinus AUDUBONI, Finsch.—The Procellaria obscura of Gmel. has 
been determined by Dr. Finsch (see P. Z. 8. 1872, p. 111) to be a Pacifie 
Ocean species, distinguished from the Puffinus obscurus of recent authors 
by its white underwing-coverts and other characters. Dr. Finseh there- 
fore proposed for the Atlantic species the name auduboni, as above. 
601. Puffinis GAVIA (Forst.) Finsch.—See Giglioli & Salvadori, Ibis, 
1869, p. 65; Finsch, Jour. fiir Orn., 1872, p. 256. 
603. Puffinus GRISEUS (Gmel.) Finsch.—Cf. Finsch, Jour. fiir. Orn., 
1874, p. 209; Salvin, Rowley’s Orn. Mise., iv, 1876, p. 236. 
619. LUNDA cirrhata, Pall.—Sufficiently distinct generically from the 
species of Fratercula. 
623. Simorhynchus PYGMazUS (Gmel.) Ridgw.—The Alca pygmea of 
Gmelin is unquestionably the young of this species, afterward named 
“8S. cassini” by Dr. Coues. Alca kamtschatica, Lepechin, is the same spe- 
cies in adult (winter?) plumage. 
b. SPECIES AND SUBSPECIES NOT IN CouUEsS’s CHECK LIST. 
SIURUS NZVIUS NOTABILIS, Grinnell, MS. 
Ciu.—Similar to S. nevius, but munch larger. Wing, 3.25; tail, 2.50; bill, from 
nostril, .50; depth at base, .25; tarsus, .83; middle toe, .56. Above dark grayish 
brown, the feathers of the pileum with indistinctly darker centres. Beneath yellow- 
ish white, the throat thickly spotted, and the breast and sides heavily streaked with 
blackish dusky; a superciliary stripe of pale fulvous, hardly extending back to the 
end of the auriculars. Lores crossed by a distinct streak of black. Centre of the ab- 
domen immaculate; lower tail-coverts with central streaks of grayish dusky ; lining of 
the wing smoky gray. Bill brownish black, the mandible growing lighter brown bas- 
ally. Feet horn-color. 
Hab.—Black Hills, Wyoming (Mus. G. B. Grinneil). 
The plumage of this bird is in all respects, so far as I can see, quite 
identical with that of ordinary darker plumaged specimens of S. nevvius, 
except that the superciliary stripe does not extend so far back and the 
streaks on the breast are broader; the former character may be merely 
apparent, however, and owing to the manner of skinning.
