* Gervais and Verreaux gave a description of Tursipes rostratus at the meeting of 
the Zoological Society of London on Jan. 11, 1842, but their paper did not appear in 
the * Proceedings’ until June. In the meantime, Gray, who had received a specimen 
from King George Sound, Wee Australia, published an account of it in the ‘Annals 
& Magazine of Natural stom ' for March, 1842, adopting Gervais & Verreaux’s 
name for the genus, but dese ribing the species as 7. spensere. Gray’s specific name 
apparently has priority over 7. rostratus Gervais & Verreaux.
