V( i889. n ] PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. 121 



Following is a summary of the species found to date, on each island, 

 with authorities for their occurrence. Species printed in heavy-faced 

 type are peculiar, so far as known, to the island to which the list in 

 which they occur pertains, while those preceded by a * were first found 

 there by the naturalists of the Albatross. 



In designating the authorities, the name of the collector is given in- 

 stead of that of the person publishing the record, except in the case of 

 the Albatross collection, which was made by several persons, thus ren- 

 dering necessary the following explanation: The birds collected by 

 Mr. Darwin were reported on by Mr. John Gould, in the " Zoology 

 of the Voyage of the Beagle," pt. ill; those collected by Dr. Kinberg 

 (surgeon and naturalist of the Swedish frigate Eugenie), by Prof. C. J. 

 Suudevall, in the " Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London," 

 1871, pp. 124-130; those obtained by Dr. Habel, by Mr. Salvin, in his 

 monograph so often mentioned on the preceding pages, while nothing 

 has hitherto been published concerning the small collection made by 

 Dr. William H. Jones, TJ. S. N. (surgeon of the U. S. S. Wachusett), on 

 Chatham Island, in 1884, except a description of the new oyster-catcher 

 (Hmnatopus galapagensis) which he obtained there. 1
