o44 Mr. W. Eagle Clarke on the 
(“ rauchgraue’”’) Albatros was seen almost daily from 
Bouvet I. onwards. There is no mistake as to the bird 
meant, for reference is made to an excellent figure of 
P. cornicoides. 
Bernachi (‘To the South Polar Regions, pp. 316, 317) 
says that during the month of January, 1900, an Albatros, 
which he describes as “ generally sooty, paler on the 
shoulders and under surface,” was occasionally seen in the 
pack-ice. 
Vanhoffen (¢. c.) has a number of references to Phebetria 
during the voyage of the ‘ Gauss,’ as seen between Kerguelen 
and the Antarctic Circle, but he evidently did not realize 
or recognise that there were two species of the genus. 
Anderson (op. cit.) makes no allusion to Phebetria under 
** Sturmvogel ”’ in his records of the “ Héhere Tierleben” of 
the Swedish Expedition; but Lounberg (¢.c. p. 6), im his 
account of the birds seen during the Relief Expedition, 
mentions that several examples of P. cornicoides were seen 
between Cape Horn and South Georgia, and that it was last 
seen in 61° 42’ S. and 57° 35’ W. 
No Sooty Albatros was obtained by the ‘Southern 
Cross’ Expedition, though, as I have said, Bernachi saw 
this bird; nor does Dr. Racovitza (¢. c.) mention either 
species in his account of the animal life observed during 
the voyage of the ‘ Belgica.’ 
Diomepea ExvLAns Linn. 
Diomedea exulans Cat. Birds, xxv. p. 441. 
There is only one record for this species, namely, of a 
bird seen on March 20th, 1903, when the ‘Scotia’ was in 
61° S. and 43° 20’ W., southward of the Orkneys. 
? “ THALASSOGERON CHLORORHYNCHUS.” 
The only “ Mollymauk” seen, and attributed to this species, 
was logged on February 6th, 1903, when the ship was pro- 
ceeding eastwards from the South Orkneys and was a good 
way off the edge of the pack-ice, This was in 60° 10’ 8. and 
42° 35’ W.
