Fig. 5. — Camarhynchus townsendi. 



Adult (?) male (No. 115915, Chnrles Island, Galapagos, Aprils, 1888; 

 U. S. S. Albatross): Above light brownish-gray, decidedly tinged with 

 olive on hinder scapulars, lower back, and rump; middle and greater 

 wing coverts broadly but not very distinctly tipped with pale dull butty: 

 superciliary stripe and entire under parts dull buffy whitish, the breast 

 and sides tinged with brownish gray, the sides of the former showing 

 very indistinct broad streaks of the same; under wing-coverts and 

 broad margins to inner webs of remiges nearly pure white. Upper 

 mandible dark brown, lower mandible paler ; legs and feet dark brown. 

 Length (skin), 4.50; wing, 2.80; tail, 1.85; culmen, .58; gonys, .31; bill 

 from rictus, .51 ; depth at base, .45; tarsus, .88; middle toe, .60. 



Adult (?) female (No. 115914, same locality, etc.) : Similar to the male 

 as described above, but very slightly whiter beneath. Length (skin), 

 4.70; wing, 2.90; tail, 1.80; culmen, .55; gonys, .29; bill from rictus, .50; 

 tarsus, .90 ; middle toe, .65. 



It is not unlikely that the full-plumaged male of this species has the 

 head and neck blackish, like G. habeli and the supposed G. psittaculus 

 described above. 



I see no other way to dispose of these specimens from Charles Island 

 than to describe them as a distinct species. Viewed laterally, the bill 

 is shaped much like that of G. habeli, except that it is shorter ; viewed 

 vertically, it is seen to be less compressed, especially on the culmen, 

 which does not present a well defined ridge as seen in G. habeli. 



This new species is named for Mr. Charles H. Townsend, one of the 

 naturalists of the Albatross, and an accomplished ornithologist. 

 26. Camarhynchus pauper sp. no v. 



Sp. Char. — Similar to G. townsendi but slightly smaller, with the bill 

 very much smaller and with straighter culmen, the legs and feet much 

 more slender, and the under parts more tinged with butty. 



Hab. — Charles Island.
