3. ON some AppiITIONS TO THE List oF THE BIRDS OF THE 
Fatkianp Istanps. By P. L. Scuater, M.A., Pu.D., 
F.R.S. 
In the Society’s ‘ Proceedings’ for 1860, p. 382, I published a 
list of birds collected by Capt. Packe in the Falkland Islands, in 
which fifty-seven species were enumerated as occurring in that group 
of islands. In the following year Capt. Abbott’s fine series of spe- 
cimens from the same locality, concerning which he contributed a 
valuable paper to the ‘ Ibis’?*, enabled me to make an addition of 
ten species to the avifauna of the groupt+. Mr. Leadbeater has 
recently sent to me for examination a few additional specimens lately 
obtained by Capt. Packe, among which are two species not included 
in either of my former lists. These are— 
1. Eererra truce (Licht.): Ardea leuce, Licht. Doubl. p. 77 ; 
Burmeister, Syst. Ueb. iii. p. 416. 
This is a widely distributed American species. 
2. Prion TuRTUR, Gould, B. Austr. vii. pl. 54. 
A species found throughout the Southern Pacific and Atlantic, ac- 
cording to Mr. Gould. 
I have thought it desirable to record the occurrence of these two 
species in the Falklands, in order to make the list as complete as pos- 
sible. At the same time I may call attention to the rectifications 
made in the ‘ Ibis,’ 1861, p. 312, concerning the names of two of 
the species contained in my first list, sc. Nycticorax gardeni and 
Larus roseiventris, which I now believe ought to stand as Nycticorax 
obscurus (Licht.) and Larus glaucotis, Meyen.
