« A specimen which had no older label, is, without doubt, 

 that from the Leverian Museum, and possibly the type of 

 Latham's description, to which I have not had access. 



114. Pelecanus trachyrhynchus, Latham. (164.) 

 Rough-billed Pelican, Lath. Gen. Synops. vi. 586. 8 (Mus. 



Lever.) ; Phil. Trans, lxii. 419. 54; Fauna Amer. 17. 



Pelecanus erythrorhynchus, Gmel. Syst. i. 571. 



Pelecanus trachyrhynchus , Lath. Ind. Orn. i. 884. 8 ; Shaw, 

 Mus. Lever. 211, c. tab. 



It is not without doubt, but very probable, that the old 

 specimen in our collection is that mentioned by Latham as 

 contained in the Leverian Museum, and the original of 

 Shaw's plate. 



115. Pelecanus fuscus, Linne. (104.) 

 Brown Pelican, Lath. Gen. Syn. vi. 580. 3. 

 Pelecanus fuscus, Linne, Lath. Ind. Orn. i. 883. 3. 

 Sale Cat. n. 1411, from North America (Catal.). 



This bird, which I believe to be from the Leverian Museum 

 (though it is without label), is very young, and in bad con- 

 dition. 



116. Tachypetes aquilus, Linne. (106.) 



This specimen is in dark plumage, and seems to have been 

 obtained from the American coast.

III. — Notes from Archangel. By Edward R. Alston, 

 F.Z.S., and John A. Harvie Brown. 



The following notes, made during an excursion to the country 

 round Archangel, are offered as an appendix to the fuller 

 accounts of Herr Liljeborg (Naumannia, 1852, p. 87), Herr 

 Forstmeister Goebel (Journal fur Ornithologie, 1871, p. 20), 

 and Herr Meves (Qilfversigt af K. Vetensk. Ak. Forhand- 

 lingar, 1871, p. 731). 



Various causes detained us longer in this country than we 

 should have wished ; and we did not leave St. Petersburg till 

 the 8th June, having been delayed there for two days in
