The tympaniform membranes, fig. 3, p, p, 

 are long and wide, occupying the entire 

 length and width of the bronchial tubes, fig. 

 2, b, where the outer portion of right tube 

 is given, and there is a much less prominent 

 bronchidesmus than in the Gannet. 



The pessulus is present, but there is not 

 even the rudiment of the semiluna mem- 

 brane, as seen in the Gannet, while there is 

 no shield-like projection of the syrinx over 

 the lower side of the junction of the bron- 

 chial tubes; compare fig. 11 t, (Vol. X)with 

 o, figs. 3 and 4, nor do the tubes narrow as 

 much at their syringeal junction as in the 

 Gannet, compare fig. 1, d, d, with fig. 4, o, e.
