xxiv VOYAGES OF A NATURALIST 



Another interesting discovery we made was 

 that Richardson's skua (Stercorarius crepidatus) 

 winters in great numbers in the Bay of 

 Valparaiso many hundred miles further south 

 on the west coast of America than it has previously 

 been found. 



The two peculiar species of land-birds which 

 inhabit Fernando de Noronha, the Brazilian 

 convict island, are also perhaps worthy of notice, 

 on account of their rarity in collections. These 

 are a flycatcher (Elainea ridleyana), and a 

 warbler (Vireo gracilirostris), which were pre- 

 viously represented in the British Museum by the 

 type-specimens only. 



Amongst the fishes obtained during this voyage 

 one Corvina crawfordi from the harbour of 

 Montevideo, proved to be new to science. 



A species of microlepidoptera Pyroderces 

 crawfordi Walsingham from Tahiti, was also 

 previously unknown, and another specimen of 

 this group of little moths Hdiostobes mathewi 

 from Valparaiso, forms the only other known 

 specimen in addition to the type. 



SECOND VOYAGE. 



THE second voyage upon which we started from 

 Cowes on 18th December, 1903, was to the West 

 Indies. Our party for this cruise consisted of 

 Lord Crawford, Mr. C. R. Pawson, Dr. R. C. 

 MacWalters, and myself, though at Barbadoes
