Out of these thirty-three species nineteen have not been in- 

 cluded in our former lists. Only three of them, however, call 

 for any special remark ; viz. : — 



12. Phalacrocorax carunculatus (Gm.). 



In our first list (Ibis, 1868, p. 189) we called this species P. 

 cirrhatus. Both are Gmelin^s specific names ; but carunculatus is 

 the first given by him, and is adopted by Mr. Gray (Gen. B. iii. 

 p. 667) and other authors (c/. Finsch, J. f. 0. 1870, p. 375). 



Bonaparte (Consp. Av. ii. pp. 174, 176) places the two names 

 as separate species and under separate geoeric heads; but one 

 of the present specimens possesses the white wing-band, which he 

 speaks of as characteristic of P. carunculatus, and the other not. 

 This is obviously no distinguishing character ; Gmelin mentions 

 it in the diagnosis of both his species. Captain Abbott has 

 written some notes on the breeding-habits of this species and P. 

 magellanicus (Ibis, 1861, p. 166). 



17. Chloephaga magellanica (Gm.). 



Dr. Cunningham^s skin of this Goose has broadish black bars 

 over the whole under-surface, even more than in some Chilian 

 specimens of Bernicla dispar, Philippi & Landbeck ; and from 

 this and other specimens lately examined we are inclined to con- 

 sider that the latter species must be reunited to the former.

The Sooty Petrel obtained by Dr. Cunningham ofi" Coquimbo 

 appears to be referable to this species, lately described by Dr. 

 Coues from specimens obtained near Cape St. Lucas, South Ca- 

 lifornia. Prof. Schlegel (Mus. P.-B., Procellari(B, p. 26) refers 

 his Chilian specimens of this group to P. carneipes, Gould {cf. 

 P. Z. S. 1837, p. 336). But Mr. Gould says nothing of the
