Iris (lark brown ; bill, feet, and webs black. {N. Hanson.) 



The first specimens of this species were observed on the 13th of 

 October, 1898, and five were obtained on the 24th of that month, the 

 day when Mr. Hanson and the other officers of the ' Southern Cross ' 

 shot a large number of Petrels (vide supra, p. 81). These five 

 specimens are recorded in Mr. Hanson's private list given over to 

 me liy Mr. Borchgrevink, as two males and three females, but a single 

 pair alone has reached me. 



The species is again mentioned l)y Mr. Hanson as having been 

 noticed on the 30th of December, when the ' Southern Cross ' reached 

 the ice-pack, but he says that it left the ship before they sighted the 

 ice. Mr. Borchgrevink (p. 54) gives a list of the birds observed on 

 this date, whicli not only agrees with that in Mr. Hanson's ' Diary,' 

 but includes the present species, whicli is wrongly named Cijmo- 

 ilrnmn fjrallaria, in both instances.
