 Diomedea cauta id. ib. p. 153, [The type-locality of Diomedea caiita 

 Gould, Proc. Zool. Soc. for 1840, 1841, p. 177, is Bass' Straits.] 



Range : — New Zealand Seas^ Bounty Island (breeding). 



Note : — There is little doubt that Buller was not well 

 acquainted with the distinguishing features of the species 

 and subspecies of Mollymawks, In this instance^, he accepts 

 both Diomedea salvini and D. cauta as occurring on the 

 Snares, and the matter on p. 153 clearly shows his views on 

 this point were quite obscure. The fact is that D. salvini 

 is the New Zealand breeding-race of D. cauta, and con- 

 sequently both cannot be found together at the Snares.
