but very slightly lighter than above, with no streaks on the breast or belly ;

Geographical Range. — Falkland Islands. 



C. antarcticiis is confined, as I have every reason to believe, to the 

 Falkland Islands. . . . These birds live almost exclusively on the sea 

 beach, whether formed of shingle or rock, and feed just above the surf on 

 the matter thrown up by the waves. The pebbly beds of large rivers some- 

 times tempt a solitary pair to wander far from the coast. They may fre- 

 quently be seen walking on the buoyant leaves of the Fucus giganteits, 

 at some little distance from the shore. [Scott Ms.]
