  A 
  female 
  130 
  mm 
  in 
  length, 
  taken 
  in 
  1885 
  at 
  station 
  2546, 
  was 
  carrying 
  

   353 
  eggs, 
  about 
  2.6 
  by 
  3.0 
  mm 
  in 
  shorter 
  and 
  longer 
  diameter. 
  Although 
  

   so 
  few 
  in 
  number 
  the 
  eggs 
  were 
  equal 
  to 
  a 
  fifth 
  of 
  the 
  bulk 
  the 
  entire 
  

   animal 
  exclusive 
  of 
  the 
  eggs.

   Specimens 
  examined. 
  

  

  These 
  specimens 
  obtained 
  by 
  the 
  Albatross 
  are 
  all 
  adult, 
  and 
  differ 
  

   considerably 
  from 
  the 
  young 
  female 
  originally 
  described. 
  The 
  adult 
  

   specimens 
  have 
  dark-colored 
  eyes 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  other 
  species, 
  and 
  in 
  several 
  

   particulars 
  are 
  more 
  like 
  G. 
  sculptus 
  than 
  the 
  young 
  specimen 
  was, 
  al- 
  

   though 
  the 
  two 
  species 
  are 
  specifically 
  very 
  distinct, 
  as 
  the 
  accompany- 
  

   ing 
  figures 
  and 
  the 
  following 
  description 
  of 
  the 
  adults 
  will 
  show. 
  

  

  The 
  rostrum 
  is 
  relatively 
  shorter 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  young 
  specimen 
  but 
  still 
  

   rather 
  longer 
  than 
  in 
  G. 
  sculptus; 
  the 
  basal 
  two-thirds 
  is 
  horizontal, 
  

   but 
  the 
  tip 
  strongly 
  upturned, 
  regularly 
  tapered, 
  and 
  acute; 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  

   slight 
  median 
  carina 
  nearly 
  or 
  quite 
  the 
  whole 
  length 
  j 
  there 
  are 
  lateral 
  

   spines 
  and 
  the 
  corresponding 
  pair 
  of 
  spines 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  rostrum 
  

   as 
  in 
  G. 
  sculptus 
  ; 
  and 
  between 
  the 
  lateral 
  spines 
  and 
  the 
  curved 
  tip 
  the 
  

   surface 
  is 
  irregularly 
  corrugated. 
  The 
  inferior 
  edge 
  of 
  the 
  rostrum 
  is 
  

   grooved, 
  the 
  groove 
  being 
  broadest 
  at 
  the 
  beginning 
  of 
  the 
  curved 
  por-
