 Southern explorers have seen this bird, and Dr. Wilson, of the Discovery , 

 saw T. antarctica in the Pacific soon after leaving New Zealand, and 

 until within four days of his arrival at the Cape ; so we expect to add 

 this species to our list at any time.

 South Wales coasts, it is rare in New Zealand, but is found at the

 Southern waters as the " Cape-Hen," the Australian form, M . con- 

 spicillatns, having the nostrils and the sides of the mandibles a
