  This

  section 
  

   of 
  the 
  genus 
  QLstreluta, 
  of 
  which 
  (E. 
  defilippiana 
  is 
  also 
  a 
  

   member. 
  It 
  differs 
  from 
  all 
  its 
  congeners 
  in 
  having 
  a 
  short, 
  

   stout, 
  wide 
  bill, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  almost 
  total 
  absence 
  of 
  white 
  on 
  

   the 
  inner 
  webs 
  of 
  the 
  outer 
  primary 
  beneath, 
  the 
  under 
  wing- 
  

   coverts, 
  with 
  the 
  exception 
  of 
  a 
  rather 
  wide 
  margin, 
  being 
  

   white 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  axillary 
  feathers.

  Obs. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  " 
  Diomedea 
  cauta 
  " 
  of 
  BuUer 
  and 
  other 
  

   writers 
  on 
  New 
  Zealand 
  birds. 
  On 
  comparing 
  my 
  series 
  of 
  

   specimens 
  with 
  one 
  of 
  Gould's 
  types 
  of 
  T. 
  cautus 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  

   Museum, 
  the 
  diiSerences 
  above 
  pointed 
  out 
  are 
  apparent. 
  

  

  In 
  coloration 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  apparently 
  greyer 
  on 
  the 
  head 
  

   and 
  neck, 
  the 
  dark 
  loral 
  mark 
  in 
  front 
  of 
  the 
  eye 
  being 
  very 
  

   conspicuous. 
  This 
  species, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  T. 
  cautus, 
  belong 
  to 
  

   Mr. 
  Ridgway^s 
  genus 
  Thalassogeron, 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  culmi- 
  

   nicorn 
  being 
  nearly 
  parallel 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  separated 
  from 
  

   the 
  latericorn 
  by 
  an 
  interval 
  of 
  soft 
  skin.
