Oceanitinve) substitute the four following (Cf. Coues, Auk, 

 XIV, July, 1897.315): 



Subfamily FULMARIN-ffi, to include Nos. 85 to 87, 

 inclusive, and No. [102], or the genera Ossifraga. Fulma- 

 rus, Priocella. and Daption. 



Subfamily PUFFININ-S3, to include Nos. 86 to [101], 

 inclusive, or the genera Puffinus, Priof/uts, JEstrclata and 

 Bulweria. 



Subfamily PROCELLARIIN-SI. to include Nos. 103 to 

 108, inclusive, or the genera Halocyptena, Procellaria, and 

 Oceanodroma. 



Subfamily OCEANITIN^I, to include Nos. 109 to in, 

 inclusive, thus leaving the subfamily without change. 



The former subfamily Procellariix.e is thus divided into the 

 three subfamilies Fulmarix.e, Puffixix.e, and Procellariix.e, 

 while the subfamily Oceaxitix.e remains as formerly. In order 

 of arrangement, No. [102] comes next after No. 87. 



Subgenus PRIOCELLA Hombron & Jacquinot (Check-List, 

 2d ed., p. 31 ). This is raised to a full genus. (Cf. Coues, 

 Auk, XIV, July, 1897, 315.) Hence No. 87 will stand as 



87. Priocellaglacialoid.es (Smith). 



Procellaria glacialoides Smith, Illust. S. Afr. B. 1840, pi. 51. 

 Priocella glacialoides B. B. & R. Water Bds. N. A. II, 1884,
