the Imperial Collection at Vienna. 123 



229. Aix galericulata (Linne) . (52aet52£.) 



Male and female ; the male does not appear to be the ori- 

 ginal of Shaw's plate (Mus. Lever. 89) . 



230. Anas superciliosa, Gmel. (7.) 



Supercilious Duck, Lath. Gen. Synops. vi. 497. 45 (from 

 the drawings of Sir Joseph Banks ; New Zealand) . 



Anas superciliosa, Gmel. Syst. i. 537; Lath. Ind. Orn. ii. 

 852. 51. 



Anas leucophrys, Forster, Drawings, n. 77 ; idem, Descr. 

 An. 93 (New Zealand) . 



Specimen from New Holland ; no longer in the collection. 



PROCELLARIIDiE. 

 *231. Diomedea exulans, Linne. (283.) 

 An adult white Albatros without label is probably the 

 specimen of the inventory. 



LARIDtE. 



*232. Sterna fuliginosa, Gmel. (213.) 



A specimen in the collection agrees very well with Latham's 

 description of the Sooty Tern (Gen. Synops. vi. 352) ; but 

 it is not certain whether it is really the same as that from 

 Dalrymple Bay, mentioned in the inventory. 



*233. Gygis Candida (Sparrm.). (84, 85.) 



Two specimens, on which Latham seems to have based the 



description of his White Tern (Gen. Synops. vi. 363. 17, et 



Suppl. 266). 



Latham says it "inhabits Christmas Island and other 



parts of the South Seas, seen also off the island of St. 



Helena." It is probable that our birds are from the former 



island. 



PLOTID.E. 

 *234. Plotus nov,e-hollandi;e, Gould. (293.) 

 Male, Botany Bay ; no longer in the collection.
